FPM Denies Talks between Bassil and Safa over Polls Cancellation

The Free Patriotic Movement's Central Committee for Information and Communication denied Monday any talks between FPM chief Jebran Bassil and Hizbullah coordination official Wafiq Safa over the cancellation of the parliamentary elections.

The committee said in a statement that the FPM is against extending Parliament’s term.

It said the FPM was the only party that opposed the extension of Parliament’s term, considering it a serious violation of the Constitution.

Furthermore, the committee added that the parliamentary elections are today “a domestic need and an international request.”

The statement expressed the committee’s disappointment over the media outlets that “instead of adhering to truth and objectivity, have become subservient to money and a tool for political assassination.”
