Mustaqbal Rejects Vacuum, Keen on Consensus to Reach New Law

Al-Mustaqbal Movement's political bureau said it is open to all electoral law proposals until a new voting system is reached, stressing keenness on political consensus to avoid vacuum in the legislative authority, a Mustaqbal statement said on Friday.

After its periodic meeting on Thursday at the Center House, the movement asserted the need for consensus among political parties “to bridge the passage into a new law,” stressing the need to avoid vacuum at the legislative authority.

The statement said that vacuum leads to “negative implications on the general system and the constitutional institutions' safety.”

It stressed the need “to keep pace with popular demands, especially with regard to the approval of the wage scale.”

The political bureau has also listened to a special report, related to the works of the municipal council in Beirut, and the people's complaints in some neighborhoods about the failure to achieve some services.

In that regard it has been decided to form a committee to follow up on the matter and communicate with the Mayor of Beirut. A report will be raised to head of Movement.

On the latest armed military appearance in Beirut's southern suburbs, the statement rejected “all forms of security manifestations outside the legal military and security institutions."
