Future Youth Movement Condemns “March 8 and Their Allies’ ”
The Future Youth Movement issued a statement on Friday commenting on the Lebanese American University (LAU)’s Beirut elections –which the March 8 alliance won, 12 seats to none – saying that “March 8 and their new ally,” a possible reference to the Progressive Socialist Party, “pressured the students and complicated the voting process, which decreased the number of participants in the vote.”
The statement said that Future Youth condemns “the use of pressure and threats against March 14 supporters after the announcement of the results” and urges authorities to react.
The statement also said that Future Youth in LAU will continue their project of state building, enhancing democracy.
