"Our battle today is not only the battle of Al-Mukhtara or the Chouf or our presence in this beautiful region, but our battle is that of the entire country… It is the battle of Lebanon of reconciliation, Lebanon of coexistence, Lebanon of diversity, and it is a battle of the environment and education; the battle of reform and sovereignty; the battle of a people and a homeland or what is left of the homeland and its institutions,” said Democratic Gathering Bloc Head, MP Taymour Jumblatt, on Friday.
Touring the villages of the middle Chouf, which he started from Baakline, accompanied by MP Marwan Hamadeh and senior PSP officials, Jumblatt asserted that the battle today is different from the previous ones, citing the March 14th period as an example during which international community support was extended.
“The Arab countries had taken a decision to move away a little due to the policies of Iran and Hezbollah, and we thank God for their return to Lebanon and their investment in it, hopefully resulting in a kind of balance,” he added.
“Our role as a party is to listen to you more, and trust the people more, and our role is to work more on the ground in order to support steadfastness…Our role as deputies is to endeavor within the Parliament, and together with you to defend what remains of Lebanon," Jumblatt concluded, addressing the citizens and supporters he met during his tour.
