NNA – Foreign and Expatriates Minister, Free Patriotic Movement Party Head, Gebran Bassil, stressed, on Sunday, his Party’s presence “on all Lebanese territories and at Constitutional institutions.”
Bassil’s words came during his tour of borderline towns and villages in the Casa of Bint Jbeil.
The tour began by a Mass service held in the town of Dibil, following which Bassil pledged to “work for the development of a fair electoral law, highlighting the State’s duties towards its citizens.”
Bassil’s next stop-over was in Ain Ebel, then in Rmeich, where an artesian well and a new FPM branch were inaugurated in presence of several political figures, namely representatives of the Free Patriotic Movement, Lebanese Forces, Kataeb Party, Amal Movement and Hezbollah.
Bassil praised the coexistence and national integration witnessed in Rmeich, Dibil and Ain Ebel, saluting the resistance of their citizens in confronting the Israeli enemy and remaining attached to their land.
“The understanding agreement we have with Hezbollah protects Lebanon and renders us capable of facing all difficulties and challenges,” he said.
Addressing hour issues prevailing on the Lebanese political scene, Bassil explained that his political group was aware of Army Commander’s term of office renewal, but actually feared a third extension of the Parliament Council’s mandate.
“We will prevent such a scenario, if present, not in Parliament but by taking to the street,” Bassil underscored, reiterating rejection of any unconstitutional act.
Bassil then visited the border villages of Yaroun and Alma el-Shaeb, the last leg of his Sunday tour.
