Phalange Urges Removal of All Obstacles Hindering National Dialogue
The Phalange Party praised on Monday President Michel Suleiman’s efforts to resume the national dialogue.
It urged in a statement after its weekly politburo meeting “the removal of all obstacles hindering the talks, which requires an honest position on complying with the March 14 camp’s demands.”
The camp recently announced its boycott of the all-party talks following the failure to provide telecom data in assassination attempts to the security forces, as well as the failure to address Palestinian refugees and Hizbullah’s possession of arms.
The next session is set for August 16.
Addressing the local security situation, the Phalange Party noted the “crisis in the country”, calling on the government to review its policies “that have become a factor in the disputes.”
Turning to the developments in Syria, it condemned the international community’s silence “over the ongoing tragedy” in the country, hoping that the Syrian people will be rid of their suffering in the near future.
The party also demanded that the government devise a comprehensive plan to follow up on the flow of Syrian refugees into Lebanon.
