BEIRUT: The Future Movement warned against discrepancies in the implementation of a country-wide security plan Tuesday, saying inconsistencies would weaken the state.
Joining their March 14 partners in voicing complaints against the security plan, the bloc also said that security measures "must abide by a single standard across all regions" to avoid “double standards” that in turn would “weaken state’s prestige, presence and credibility.”
The bloc said inconsistent implementation would cause “feeling of injustice, oppression and persecution, and would prevent the state from projecting its authority and prestige," it said in a statement issued after the movement's weekly meeting Tuesday.
“Political parties, partisan [entities] and media [outlets] are portraying the areas of Akkar and the north as regions that oppose the Lebanese state and its military and security institutions,” said the bloc, which said that, contrary to reports, these areas are prime recruitment hubs for state institutions.
Touching on disputes between factions in the government, the bloc said that Cabinet’s formation did not mean political differences were resolved, but rather it ensured that dialogue would continue between parties "in the hope of developing understanding."
The Future movement also called on the Higher Relief Committee to expedite technical inspection of villages affected by heavy floods in north Lebanon this weekend, and called for compensations to be paid quickly, especially in the villages of Dinnieh, Minnieh and Akkar that were severely damaged.
The meeting also addressed two hostage files, with the bloc calling for the release of abducted individuals from the Hujeiri family as well as the servicemen held hostage by militants from The Nusra Front and ISIS.
