March 14 Controls Unions
The March 14 alliance on Thursday announced that it has achieved a sweeping victory in Union elections for 2008.
The announcement was made by secretary of the Democratic Renewal Movement Antoine Haddad in a press conference called for by the March 14 alliance.
March 14, Haddad explained, is represented by five out of six syndicate heads and 45 out of 49 syndicate council members.
That left only one Syndicate head and four council members for March 8, he noted.
Such results "clearly reflect that the Lebanese civil society and its elite have adopted the central cause, for which March 14 forces are struggling," Haddad said.
The outcome of union elections reflects support for the march to set up an independent, sovereign and democratic state "without which there would be no future for any Lebanese group," he added.
