Zgharta: Defender of the Church & legal authorities
Head of the Independent Movement Michel Mouawad met with the March 14 Zgharta candidates on Friday to discuss preparations for the upcoming parliamentary elections. The candidates included MP Jawad Boulos, Youssef Douaihy, Coordinator of Future Movement in the North Abdel Ghani Kabbara, Lebanese Forces Political Relations official Sarkis Douaihy, LF Coordinator in Zgharta Fahd Gerges and LF Secretary Marios Beaini.
Mouawad said that the meeting aimed to reaffirm the unity of March 14 Zgharta candidates, as well as the unity among all March 14 alliance parties throughout Lebanon.
He added that the Zgharta list “does not only represent its candidates, but also all the political forces that support it.”
Mouawad also said that “Zgharta was always in the front row defending the Church, as well as the legal authorities. It derives its strength from communicating with its northern neighbors and cooperating with them on the basis of [strong] principles, moderation and independence.”
“Zgharta sees its future in Lebanon and not out of it,” Mouawad concluded.
