FPM rejects anew extension of army chief term
The parliamentary bloc of the Free Patriotic Movement has reiterated its objection to the extension of the term of Army chief Gen. Joseph Aoun ahead of his planned retirement in January, considering it "unconstitutional."
"There are legal solutions to avoid the vacancy," the Strong Lebanon bloc said in a statement Tuesday.
"There won't be a void," the statement said, adding that "vacancy is not possible at all in institutions with military ranks."
