Kanaan Says FPM, LF May Restore 'Alliance' Anytime

The Free Patriotic Movement and the Lebanese Forces may restore their political alliance anytime despite the current disputes, Change and Reform bloc secretary MP Ibrahim Kanaan said on Sunday.

“In the FPM-LF relation, there should be differentiation between the historic reconciliation that turned the page on a bloody past and any political disagreement in which we would compete democratically,” Kanaan said in an interview with Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3).

“That’s why I tell everybody to be reassured that there will be no turning back in the FPM-LF relation, which sometimes might witness disagreements,” the MP added.

“But these disagreements might turn into an alliance at any moment under different circumstances,” he went on to say.

The lawmaker added: “The FPM-LF agreement is firm, the Declaration of Intent is eternal, and I call for mutual frankness in order to interpret it to know what has been implemented and what has not so that we continue the process.”
