Progressive Socialist Party calls for domestic calm
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt highlighted "the need to establish domestic calm before and after the elections to enable [the Lebanese parties] to rebuild the bridges of confidence, which were ruined by disputes that marked the last period."
In his weekly article in Al-Anbaa magazine to be published on Tuesday, Jumblatt said: "Re-establishing confidence in the domestic arena lays the foundations for stability that enables the Lebanese to make decisions on economic and social issues."
Domestic stability "paves the way for administrative reform, because the situation of the public administration has reached a level that requires urgent measures," the PSP leader said.
He also stressed Lebanon”s Arabism, saying that the "Arab identity protects the country and the Lebanese formula established by the Taif Accord.
He added that uniting the Arabism and "Lebanon first" concepts marked the beginning of a new stage that should be "marked by abolishing political confessionalism."
