Report: LF-FPM to Continue Efforts to Reach United Stand on Legislative Session

The Lebanese Forces and Free Patriotic Movement will continue their contacts to reach a united stance on the upcoming legislative session, reported the daily An Nahar on Sunday.

LF chief Samir Geagea and Change and Reform bloc MP Ibrahim Kanaan had held talks to that end on Saturday.

The two sides are exerting efforts to reach an agreement over the “legislation of necessity,” which is advocated by the FPM, revealed an informed source to An Nahar.

“The legislation of necessity deals with major national issues such as the parliamentary electoral law and the law on restoring nationality and we are willing to discuss other issues that fall under this criteria,” Kanaan had explained on Tuesday after the Change and Reform bloc's weekly meeting.

The source added that the LF and FPM have not changed their position on attending or not attending the legislative session, saying that it hinges on whether “legislation of necessity will be adopted.”
