FPM, Hezbollah reach 'preliminary accord' on presidency, decentralization
A preliminary presidential agreement has been reached between the Free Patriotic Movement and Hezbollah, FPM chief Jebran Bassil said.
"We have reached a preliminary agreement with Hezbollah on a course leading to a consensual candidate in return for national demands," Bassil revealed, adding that "it is not possible to elect a president without an understanding" and that he is counting on an "inter-Lebanese dialogue."
The demands discussed with Hezbollah are the administrative and financial decentralization law and the trust fund law. These demands concern all the Lebanese, Bassil claimed.
"This is political work and not a bargain," he said.
