Jumblat from Aley: We Will Vote for Pierre Gemayel Represented by Fadi al-Habr
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat said on Saturday that his supporters will vote for slain minister Pierre Gemayel represented by Fadi al-Habr and for partnership with the Phalange party.
"We will vote for partnership with the Phalange party, we will vote for the partner with whom we reconciled in Mukhtara in 2001, and for martyr Pierre Gemayel represented by Fadi al-Habr," Jumblat told a rally in Aley.
"June 7 will be the day of loyalty for Lebanon”s sovereignty, freedom and independence," voicing hope for unity between the Phalange, Socialists, the LF and al-Mustaqbal.
He said he accepts the decisions of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon "but we will not drop political accusations and we will never forget."
Jumblat told the crowd that the next stage will be more difficult.
"Maybe it will turn out that Kamal Jumblat was killed in a car crash and (former Premier) Rafik Hariri committed suicide," the Druze leader said.
