Saniora Vows March 14 to Remain Steadfast in Face of 'Coup, Perpetrators'
Head of the Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc, former premier Fouad Saniora, vowed Sunday that the March 14 camp will hold onto its stances and “remain committed to its values and principles.”
“In the face of the coup and those who have staged a coup against the democratic system by means of force and intimidation, we won’t be dragged into using force as a method,” Saniora pledged.
He stressed that the new opposition will rely on “democracy and popular and parliamentary opposition … to preserve the gains our society and country have achieved.”
“We will keep on calling for transition to a just, capable and tolerant State,” the ex-PM added, vowing to “exert utmost efforts in order for the State to extend its authority over entire Lebanon, which would protect the country and its sovereignty, independence, freedoms and civil peace.”
