Meetings of Jihad Azour... And the Assurance to Disable the "Blocking Third"

Local Lebanese media mentioned a forthcoming meeting between the Change bloc MPs and presidential candidate Jihad Azour tomorrow, Thursday. Sources from the Change bloc indicated that "the opposition groups will ask Jihad Azour for a guarantee not to grant the blocking third to any party." They added that "one of the demands of the opposition blocs that will be presented to Jihad Azour is to prevent sectarian distribution of ministries, ensuring that the Ministry of Finance does not belong to the Shia and the Ministry of Interior is not always allocated to the Sunnis."
