Qaouq Slams 'Parties Refusing to Offer Concessions' on Electoral Law
Hizbullah central council member Sheikh Nabil Qaouq lashed out on Sunday at “some political forces who are clinging to their stances and refusing to address the crisis or offer concessions” regarding the electoral law.
“Their insistence on their stances will drag the country into a deep political crisis,” Qaouq warned, noting that “the atmospheres of political tension and rifts have returned.”
“The electoral law crisis has reached a dangerous level that has started to threaten national accord and political stability,” Qaouq cautioned.
“Any electoral political gain at the expense of national accord and political stability is a loss for Lebanon and the Lebanese, and any concession for the sake of agreeing on a new electoral law would be a full win for all Lebanese,” the Hizbullah official added.
He noted that Hizbullah was among the first parties to “offer political concessions in order to pave the way for consensus among all political forces.”
“National responsibility necessitates efforts for two priorities: the first is to preserve national accord and political stability and the second is that we work on an electoral consensus that satisfies all forces and components,” Qaouq added.
