Will the "Movement" Settle for a Boycott?

The principled and initial stance taken by the Free Patriotic Movement is to boycott the session, regardless of the agenda's size or nature, as it considers the step unconstitutional and contributes to exacerbating the situation and its impact on all matters, including the presidential entitlement, since it serves to encourage the prolongation of the presidential vacuum. The Movement's officials have maintained this position without disclosing any potential steps they might take in response to Mikati's invitation and stance, indicating that a formal position will be announced later. Sources from the Free Patriotic Movement confirmed their rejection of Mikati's invitation, deeming it unconstitutional. A prominent source within the Movement told "Ad-Diyar": "Normalizing the situation in this manner and dismissing the constitution amid the presidential vacuum under the pretext of managing people's affairs only increases tensions and escalation in the country, further complicating the presidential entitlement, especially given the already 'convoluted' situation," noting that there have not yet been any signs or positive indicators, either domestically or internationally, regarding a positive development concerning the election of a president, and there are no initiatives in this regard.
