Head of the Progressive Socialist Party MP Walid Jumblatt said Friday that the protest movements staged by Lebanese activists in central Beirut are legitimate and rightful, condemning the barbaric practices implemented by police against demonstrators.
Jumblatt stressed via Twitter, that "the Lebanese people are free to express their opinion regarding the country’s situation and the 'political garbage,' which include political parties and their 'so-called official figures.'"
He added that the majority of the political parties have gone bankrupt, “leaving behind only empty leaders and rhetoric.”
