March 14 Reiterates 'Peace Goals' for Lebanon
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
March 14 general secretariat reiterated Wednesday its plans of “peace for all the Lebanese,” voicing hopes that “the fall of the Syrian regime would be an opportunity to restore peace in Lebanon.”
Following the alliance's weekly assembly, March 14 forces general-secretariat coordinator Fares Souaid pointed out that the meeting was a preparation before the commemoration ceremony to be held at BIEL on Thursday to mark the 8th assassination anniversary of former PM Rafic Hariri.
Souaid stressed that Hariri's martyrdom has unified the Lebanese over a true cause, when justice was accomplished and the Syrian army was ousted from Lebanon.
On the electoral draft law suggested by the al-Mustaqbal and rejected by Speaker Nabih Berri, Souaid said “Berri has a pivotal role in drafting a new electoral law. Consensus on a hybrid electoral draft-law could make all parties go in that direction.”
Al-Mustaqbal MP Ahmed Fatfat proposed on Tuesday a hybrid draft-law whereby 70 percent of MPs would be elected under the winner-takes-all system and the rest under the proportional representation system out of its keenness on holding the elections on time.
Rivaling political parties have so far failed to agree on an electoral law, and the parliamentary subcommittee tasked to solve this thorny issue is expected to hold further meetings for that purpose.

Peace goals ??? It has been M14 that has tried to throw Lebanon into turmoil by boycotting the government.

Also @mckini... Funny how short your memory is. It was the actions of some M8 parties that led to the fighting in '08. Those with glass houses throw no stones, and all that.

That is the question! You have m14 trying to push for a strong government and understanding among the different communities and m8 pushing for weakening the state institutions in favor of a strong Syrian/Iranian/hizbullah axis.

I am not a person who sides with any party. I judge based on deeds and what I see happening on the ground. M14 is a mixture of parties that worked and are still working for Lebanon. I am just mentioning Lebanon that we all know of. One that is full of corruption and waywardness. Within these constraints, N14 is the best of all evils. Lebanon should exist whether with or without corruption. And with it we should find those who most love this country. Despite all the others say about the Hariri family, I still think that in the history of Lebanon, this family was the best that Lebanon had thus far. They could have done some fishy deals, but their hearts were always on loving this country. With them, more Christian parties are finding their way which is good for Lebanon. I could have liked Hezbullah going the same way and not putting all his eggs in Iran’s basket.
