The internal agency of the Progressive Socialist Party in the Khaldeh region announced in a statement that "as the Progressive Socialist Party, we will not descend to the level of attacking the party and its representative in the Khaldeh region, out of respect for the critical moment Lebanon is experiencing, and because we do not carry this amount of complex grievances and narrow calculations. We have worked for the covenant with complete transparency through the Progressive Alumni Association, and we have maintained our position with the support of President Nabih Berri and the understanding of the syndicate council, both the president and members. As for the policy of 'me or no one', it is not in our dictionary, and we will remain the broad and caring chest, without getting dragged into futile disputes."
