The President of the Lebanese Forces Party, Samir Geagea, emphasized that as long as the axis of resistance and the Free Patriotic Movement have "weight" in the political game, there should be no hope for progress. He reminded that Speaker of the Parliament Nabih Berri, when he spoke about dialogue, confirmed that regardless of its outcome, he would call for an open session in consecutive rounds. Therefore, given the failure to hold the dialogue, it is now necessary for him to fulfill this promise.
He pointed out that "when it came to the moment of truth, it became clear that the resistance team does not want to call for a new election session in consecutive rounds, as it will not succeed in securing 65 votes," expressing regret over such behaviors amidst the crises we are facing.
During a seminar on "Industry and Labor: Challenges and Solutions," Geagea praised the "hope among industrialists who insist on fighting to survive despite all the difficult circumstances in the country," affirming that "as long as community institutions continue to operate, we should not worry too much."
He noted that "the effort exerted by any industrialist in any other country would yield a much better outcome, considering that there (the state is present), but in Lebanon, regardless of how hard you work with your own resources (and whatever you have done), this is a source of pride for you and for us. Unfortunately, the result is negative due to the absence of state institutions." He stressed the "importance of keeping up with the political movement, even though the majority of those present in the hall do not like politics, it is linked to their interest and the public interest and is of concern to every Lebanese; it must be pursued to rectify the situation and ultimately establish a true state."
From this standpoint, he encouraged everyone to continue the struggle from their respective positions to rebuild the state, as without it, security, safety, and productivity will be absent, and no matter how much efforts are bolstered, they will dissipate.
