The Free Patriotic Movement inaugurated its Anfeh office under the patronage of Foreign and Expatriates Minister, Gibran Bassil, who asserted that the collective will, which triumphed in electing a head of State, will triumph once again in decreeing a new electoral law.
Bassil told the gatherers during the event that his political team was ready to reach necessary agreements with all Lebanese factions, for the sake of rebuilding the country.
“Dialogue is important, but not at the expense of time,” said Bassil, asserting that the FPM’s stance from the electoral law would not falter or change.
“Dialogue is necessary to hold elections under a law that represents all of us, and achieves reform and genuine representation.”
The Minister went on to declare that Lebanon would never experience stability, unless a new law was decreed that represented all Lebanese and restored rights.
“We have suggested two project laws so far,” said Bassil, noting that neither won unanimous consensus.
“We are even willing to suggest a third law,” the Minister went on.
It seemed that unless a new electoral law was decreed, the country would have to resort back to the Orthodox law.
“We are not a minority, and no one can plot against us, and we are no longer willing to lose more time.”
