Title: Hashim: The Agreement Between "Hezbollah" and "Free Patriotic Movement" Does Not Bind Us Unless We Are Convinced

Member of the "Development and Liberation" bloc, MP Qassem Hashim, noted that "the agreement between Hezbollah and the Free Patriotic Movement does not necessarily bind us unless we are convinced of what has been agreed upon. The issue of financial decentralization is separate from the presidential file, and we approach it based on our convictions, and it is not a prerequisite for the movement to elect the President of the Marada Movement, Sleiman Frangieh." He emphasized in a statement to MTV that "we will not accept financial decentralization except in exchange for legal safeguards that prevent complete independence for administrative entities and ensure balanced development, as we do not want to reach division or federation."
