“Lebanese Debate”

The banner of the photo that was circulated by the media and social media yesterday, which brought together the head of the Free Patriotic Movement, Gebran Bassil, and the two former deputies, Emile Rahma and Wiam Wahhab, as well as a former member of the “Strong Republic” bloc, Cesar Maalouf, who left the bloc following his position on the diesel fuel ships brought by the party. God came to Lebanon during the fuel crisis, and he refrained from running for parliamentary elections in solidarity with Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s suspension of political work.

However, it is notable that the former “al-Qawati al-Fawati” representative joins Basil’s table. What are the dimensions of this meeting between the two men?

Maalouf confirms in a conversation with the “Lebanon Debate” that he “is not at odds with the “forces” and his relations with the various parties are good. As he put it, he crosses sects and parties.”

And he answers the question regarding the possibility that the meeting will be a prelude to an alliance that precedes the municipal elections in Zahle? The answer is that “the elections are still far away.”

In order to confirm the continuity of the relationship with the “forces”, Maalouf says: “We may be with them in the municipal elections and with the “current” as well. Nothing prevents us and the “forces” from being together, and I am not at odds with the “forces”. I cross sects and cross parties, and I voted for Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri when I was with the “forces” party, and I voted for President Saad Hariri once morest the “forces” when I was with them, meaning no one can make me walk as he wants.
