Marouni: We Will Head to Parliamentary Consultations Independent from Jumblat’s Decision
Lebanese Forces MP Elie Marouni questioned on Friday Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat’s positions that at times lean towards the parliamentary majority and at others lean towards the opposition.
He told the Central News Agency that he has no idea what had changed Jumblat’s mind given his latest position that he would support the opposition during Monday’s parliamentary consultations to appoint a new prime minister.
“We will adhere to the democratic institutions and head to the consultations independent from Jumblat’s decision and we will announce our position that we had previously stated when we asserted our support to Prime Minister Saad Hariri,” Marouni continued.
Furthermore, the MP criticized the March 8 forces’ policy of “disrespecting democracy and the others’ opinions and instead resorting to intimidation and threats.”
