Phalange to Participate in March 14 General-Secretariat Meeting
March 14 General-Secretariat Coordinator Fares Soaid said following talks with former President Amin Gemayel that Phalange representatives would participate in the general-secretariat”s meeting on Wednesday.
"We agreed on the participation of Phalange party representatives in the meeting of the general-secretariat next Wednesday … There are no differences over political viewpoints between the Phalange party and the March 14 movement," said Soaid after visiting Gemayel at the party headquarters in Saifi on Monday.
The Phalange suspended its participation in the weekly meetings last month and announced that the decision will remain in effect until the alliance has been "reactivated so that it is able to carry out its major duties."
"The Phalange party was and still is at the heart of the Cedar revolution. It paid a dear price for the independence uprising," Soaid stressed, citing the assassinations of Industry Minister Pierre Gemayel and MP Antoine Ghanem.
He added that he has agreed with Gemayel to solve some administrative issues at the general-secretariat "to rectify the political movement."
