Head of the Democratic Gathering bloc, MP Taymour Jumblatt, stressed Saturday on the "convergence of all political efforts to find the necessary exits for the emerging crisis that has led to disrupting the launching of the government’s work, at a time when the country is in dire need of serious and responsible efforts to ease the burdens and sufferings of citizens.”

He also called for searching for paths of solutions necessary at the social, daily living, educational and monetary levels, and to secure the continuation of the negotiation path with the International Monetary Fund as a prelude for the needed reforms and the expected productive work.

Jumblatt highlighted the importance of “staying away from obstructive rivalries and approaching outstanding problems, by rendering the general national interest and the interests of the Lebanese at home and abroad over other internal and external policies, and addressing the crisis that has emerged with the Gulf in a manner that preserves the facet of Lebanon and the future of its youth, particularly that the delicate circumstances we are going through require the sacrifices of all and resorting to their national consciences.”

The MP’s words came before a number of civil, social and municipal delegations he met at Mukhtara Palace during the day.
