Phalange Party is Still a Part of Parliamentary Majority
Social Affairs Minister Salim al-Sayegh stressed that "Phalange is still at the core of parliamentary majority combination, and is not seeking an alibi to divorce it", adding that "the majority, in the government, will be more consolidated".
"Phalange is the nerve of March 14 forces, hence it cannot shoot any bullet at the essence of March 14," said the Phalange minister to MTV TV network.
Al-Sayegh said that the stance of Phalange Party should not be understood as related to the shares division approach. He added that "Phalange won”t participate in March 14 general-secretariat meetings as long as the framework of its agenda was not presented."
"The (Phalange) party does not see that the current policy of March 14 represents the higher policy it (Phalange Party) aims for," added al-Sayegh.
"We are giving March 14 an important rescue chance and if they don”t understand it, then they would be losing a new chance like they have lost other chances," warned al-Sayegh, stressing that the recent stance of Phalange Party "is to awake March 14 from its sleep".
