As part of the tour conducted by the president of the "Free Patriotic Movement," MP Gebran Bassil met with MP Faisal Karamy. Karamy stated, "We must keep communication channels open to overcome the presidential crisis, which is the key to all solutions, and dialogue or consultation is the only way out. What President Berri proposed is a roadmap, and we should move forward without preconditions." For his part, Bassil mentioned that there was an agreement on several matters, including the necessity of not allowing the presidential vacuum to continue, saying: "There is no solution except through understanding and consensus on a president, because otherwise, no one will be able to bring in a president, and any bet on one team defeating another is a failure."
