Loyalty to Resistance Urges Mustaqbal to Stop 'Evading' Dialogue with FPM
Hizbullah's Loyalty to the Resistance bloc voiced on Thursday its support for efforts that seek to protect the government, while renewing its accusation against the Mustaqbal Movement of standing behind the country's ongoing political deadlock.
It said after its weekly meeting: “We urge the Mustaqbal party to cease evading holding dialogue with Free Patriotic Movement chief MP Michel Aoun.”
It declared that the Mustaqbal Movement's stance is delaying resolving pending political disputes and creating new problems in Lebanon, such as the waste disposal crisis and the dispute over the wages of public sector employees.
“The deliberate isolation directed against the FPM by rival parties will backfire against them,” stressed the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc in a statement read by MP Hassan Fadlallah.
Moreover, the bloc stated: “Respecting the National Pact and constitution is key to resolving the political deadlock in Lebanon.”
The bloc also hailed the arrest of cleric Ahmed al-Asir on Saturday, hoping that justice would take its course in the case and that his accomplices will be detained.
The Salafist cleric was apprehended at Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport as he attempted to escape to Nigeria via Egypt.
The firebrand anti-Hizbullah figure is wanted, among other charges, for his involvement in clashes between his supporters and the army in the southern city of Sidon's Abra region in 2013.
