Jumblat: Lebanese Will Receive Democratic Gathering’s Answer during Monday’s Consultations

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat defended his decision to stand by Syria and Hizbullah in the upcoming parliamentary consultations, by saying that he based it on “obvious national and regional factors.”

He told the daily An Nahar Sunday that the Lebanese will receive the Democratic Gathering’s answer during Monday’s consultations.

“It is good to hold calm consultations, especially if we respect the constitutional game,” he added.

Commenting on his recent meeting with Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Jumblat said: “The meeting was very excellent and he is the most aware of the dangerousness of the situation in the country.”
