Report: Jumblat to Announce New Strategy, Shifts Positions
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat shifted his position, as he is seeking to return to the March 14-led opposition, the Kuwaiti al-Anbaa newspaper reported on Thursday.
“We’ve budged, we moved to another position and we’re waiting for the right time to announce this,” March 14 sources quoted Jumblat as saying.
The sources told the daily that Jumblat returned to the stances he used to support.
“He (Jumblat) practically shifted back to the positions that he used to call for before he left the coalition,” the sources said.
Al-Anbaa said that Jumblat is holding consecutive meetings with his former allies mainly with MP Marwan Hamadeh.
On Wednesday, al-Liwaa newspaper reported that Jumblat is seeking to revive the “Democratic Gathering.”
In January 2007, Jumblat announced the end of his Democratic Gathering parliamentary bloc, and named his new bloc the National Struggle Front.
Four MPs Marwan Hamadeh, Henry Helou, Antoine Saad and Fouad al-Saad, were not part of Jumblat's bloc anymore.
