Report: Opposition is Seeking to Form a Wider Political Front
Hizbullah is reportedly planning to transform the opposition into a wide political front that has a united political, economic and social vision.
As Safir daily said Monday that Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah brought up the subject with several delegations that visited him in the past week.
The newspaper also said that talks focused on the importance and need for a strong participation in the next cabinet without making the final say on the size of the opposition in the government.
As Safir quoted opposition party sources as saying there is openness in agreeing to MP Saad Hariri”s nomination for the premiership.
They said MP Suleiman Franjieh, however, has rejected the Mustaqbal movement leader”s nomination because Hariri "tried to politically eliminate Franjieh during the elections in the north, particularly in Batroun, Koura and Zgharta districts where there is no Sunni majority."
Ad-Diyar daily, meanwhile, quoted trustworthy sources as saying that Nasrallah informed President Michel Suleiman about his latest meetings, particularly his talks with Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat and stressed his support for the president.
The newspaper added that Nasrallah will also meet with Speaker Nabih Berri, MP Michel Aoun and other opposition allies.
The Hizbullah leader has met with Syrian Social National Party leaders, a delegation from the Tashnag and Marada leader Franjieh.
