Jumblat Reevaluates March 14 Alliance: It Was driven by Necessity and Must Not Continue
MP Walid Jumblat announced Sunday that his alliance with March 14 forces was driven by "necessity" and must not continue in the same form.
He was addressing the opening of the Progressive Socialist Party”s extraordinary general assembly.
"Our alliance with March 14 forces was driven by necessity and must not continue," Jumblat said, stressing the need "to rethink a new formation that would provide a way out of bias and prevent being pulled toward the (political) right."
He said he believed that March 14″s battle "did not enjoy political context."
"Our battle was built on the rejection of the other from a sectarian, tribal and political perspective," he said, calling for a return to "our principles and to the left."
