FPM lauds Geagea's stance on 'dialogue, coexistence, unity'

The Free Patriotic Movement says it has “positively received the advanced stance expressed by Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea (on Sunday), especially as to the resistance (Hezbollah) and its martyrs and the issues of dialogue, coexistence and Lebanon’s unity.”

This stance matches “the FPM’s openness-characterized stances,” the FPM’s media department said in a statement.

Noting that Geagea has “admitted that the election of a president is the key for resolving crises,” the FPM called on the FPM leader to “respond to the call for consultations in parliament” that has been voiced by Speaker Nabih Berri.

“The LF can show flexibility regarding minor formalities that should not be an obstacle in the face of the importance of finalizing the election of a National Pact-conforming president for Lebanon, which is the only chance to halt the state’s disintegration and the country’s collapse,” the FPM added.
