Report: Not much expected from Bkirki's Christian gathering
Christian lawmakers who will take part in Bkirki’s upcoming “spiritual retreat” are not betting on achieving any progress regarding the presidential file, amid major disagreements over the vision, stances and solution mechanisms, a media report said on Tuesday.
“The Lebanese Forces, the Kataeb Party and the independents have stressed that there is no chance to meet with the Free Patrotic Movement over a president, noting that the only intersection point lies in rejecting Marada Movement chief Suleiman Franjieh,” al-Akhbar newspaper reported.
As for the new president’s agenda and platform, they consider that “the disagreement is huge and cannot be resolved, not even with a miracle.”
FPM sources meanwhile told the daily that Bkirki’s initiative “opens a window for dialogue.”
