Head of the National Liberal Party, MP Dory Chamoun, denied reports claiming that the party has decided to withdraw from the March 14 General Secretariat, noting instead that it is willing to take a 'long break' due to the lack of coordination.

Chamoun told MTV news website that the party will be suspending its participation in the General Secretariat's meetings as well as the ceremonies and activities it organizes, including the upcoming rally commemorating the ninth anniversary of the 2005 Independence Uprising.
