FPM calls for electing rescue and reform president

W460

The Free Patriotic Movement on Wednesday called for the election of “a president who embodies a complete salvation and reform program, in line with what was said in the presidential priorities paper that has been proposed by the FPM.”

“It’s about time for dialogue and understanding among us as Lebanese, without waiting for foreign forces and without accepting that anyone outside or inside the country impose their decision,” the FPM’s political council said in a statement after a meeting chaired by FPM chief Jebran Bassil.

“Under any circumstances, we in the FPM will only endorse what we believe in, after we paid, and will continue to pay, hefty prices for our convictions,” the statement said.

The FPM’s stance comes a few days after Hezbollah openly endorsed Suleiman Franjieh as its presidential candidate.

The FPM said "Article 24 of the Constitution, which gives half of legislative seats to Christians, is the crucial obstacle in the way of Lebanese prosperity and security."

chrisrushlau said "Lebanon should be democratic like Iran and North Korea two very prosperous nations", all the people laughed. The folks at Netflix immediately offered him his own comedy special. He refused. Offended, "I am extremely serious" he said. Again all the people laughed, at him this time.
