Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil stressed that the extension of the parliament’s term is an assault on democracy, emphasizing that the Free Patriotic Movement will use all means available to prevent his extension.
Following the Change and Reform bloc’s weekly meeting, Bassil noted that the main goal is passing a new electoral law, calling on the political forces opposing the extension to abstain from participating in it.
“We will have a new vote law, this is a promise from the bloc,” he stated, adding that they will prevent the extension by boycotting the session and using all means including taking to the street and other.
