BEIRUT: The Future Bloc Tuesday accused the March 8 camp of indirectly contributing to the rise of terrorism by disrupting the election of a new president for Lebanon.
“The political factions that have been... preventing the election of a president, are responsible for disrupting the state’s functioning and the deterioration of its authority and its prestige, and thus its gradual dissolution,” MP Hadi Hobeich said, reading a statement after the bloc’s weekly meeting.
“They have become responsible for exposing the whole nation to all kinds of threats and indirectly contributing to the development of extremist and terrorist movements.”
The bloc highlighted the necessity of electing a president as soon as possible, saying it would bring back “balance and order to the constitutional institutions.”
The MPs also warned against adopting a new mechanism for decision making in Cabinet that violated the constitution.
The five-point statements also touched on the ongoing dialogue between the Future Movement and Hezbollah.
“We confirm the continuation of the dialogue with Hezbolllah in order to advance in the path toward electing a new president and reach practical steps that would reduce [sectarian] tension and frustration,” the bloc said.
The dialogue eventually seeks to entrench the importance of the Baabda Declaration and Lebanon’s commitment to international law, the MPs added.
They also praised the decision to adopt a unified medical prescription by the Health Minsitry, saying it would reduce the cost of medicines for both the citizens and the state.
The bloc finally reiterated the call for a quick solution to the ongoing hostage situation of the 25 Lebanese servicemen abducted by jihadi militants in northeast Lebanon.
