Bassil Says FPM Won't Accept 'Another Year without a Govt.'
Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil has hoped that Lebanon will have a new government soon.
"Those who want to deprive us of a government must go to elections," Bassil added, in a speech before FPM youths.
"We will not accept to be kept for another year without a government and we will not stand idly by," Bassil went on to say.
The FPM chief also hit out at the Lebanese Forces in connection with the fuel found stored by pro-LF businessman Ibrahim al-Sakr.
"We want a policy that puts an end to smuggling and hoarding by people who have always practiced extortion against their people on checkpoints while today they are taking their gasoline, diesel and oil," Bassil added, referring to the LF's checkpoints during the civil war.
