PSP leader MP Walid Jumblat declared on Wednesday his support for the Syrian revolution.
While participating in the demonstration supporting the Syrian people, Jumblat said: “Libya, Tunisia, and Egypt prevailed, and we are a part of this Arab Spring and the Syrian people’s revolution will prevail.”
He voiced his support for the Syrian people and all the detainees and missing, adding that “I am not here to talk about the government. We are a civil society and we have surpassed the parties. We see the sufferings of this people. "
“The Syrian people’s revolution will prevail eventually,” Jumblat said.
According to Al-Jadeed television, MP Walid Jumblat, the Minister of social affairs Wael Abou Faour, and MP Akram Chehayeb participated along with members of al-Mustaqbal and March 14 forces in a demonstration in solidarity with the Syrian people.
The demonstration took place at the garden of Samir Kassir square in downtown Beirut.
Al-Jadeed also reported that a “counter demonstration supporting the Syrian regime took place in Downtown Beirut, prompting the security forces to spread between the two demonstrations in order to prevent any clashes.”
Jumblat on Monday had described the regime’s promise of reform as a “joke”, slamming major powers’ support for this “charade” where it has supplied the regime with arms, intelligence, and naval vessels.
