Bassil: We will remain flexible to reach presidential agreement
Free patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil has said that he will remain open minded, responsive and flexible regarding the presidential file.
"If you reject a name, we can discuss another, there are many candidates who can reach national or Christian agreement," Bassil said from Paris.
"But what matters is to reach an agreement in order to secure the needed 65 votes and to secure quorum for the election," the lawmaker added.
Bassil assured that he can accept many candidates, but what he wouldn't accept is a president from the establishment, who would protect it and who has and will support corruption and refuse reforms.
FPM MP Alain Aoun had said that negotiations between the FPM and the opposition have "returned to square one" and that no agreement was reached on ex-minister Jihad Azour.
