Head of Future bloc Saad Hariri said Thursday that “the municipal elections held last week proved that democracy is still running strong”.
“The parliamentary blocs must realize that the Lebanese people can no more be held hostage,” he added.
During a banquet in Beit Al-Wasat which marked “Europe’s day”, Hairi stressed that the Syrian crisis caused an asylum of more than 10 million refugees to Lebanon, pointing out that the only solution to the crisis would be a political one that allows the refugees to safely return home to take part in building back Syria.
