FPM Official: Aoun Mulling National Dialogue Boycott
Change and Reform bloc leader MP Michel Aoun is mulling to boycott the second national dialogue session that is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, An Nahar newspaper reported.
Aoun is studying his options, a Free Patriotic Movement official, who was not identified, told the daily.
The official hinted that Aoun might not attend the all-party talks “if settlements are reached without resorting to the people, who are the source of all powers.”
“Our objective is to find a radical solution, hear the people's demands and respect the National Pact and the Constitution,” he said.
The official warned that the FPM would not accept to participate in the dialogue if “the politics of settlements overcome all other projects.”
“We had approved to participate in the dialogue to rectify flaws and not to become false witnesses,” he said.
Aoun is expected to take a final decision on his participation in the talks during Tuesday's Change and Reform bloc meeting.
Speaker Nabih Berri chaired the first session of the national dialogue last Wednesday.
The presidential deadlock tops the agenda of the talks.
