Hezbolla's Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc voiced on Thursday solidarity with the Free Patriotic Movement, as it urged the government to adopt mechanism of consensus in taking governmental decisions.

In a statement read by MP Hasan Fadlallah following the bloc’s weekly meeting, Loyalty to Resistance said that the campaign opposing the FPM’s demands “will not succeed in making people forget what pushed the party to protest in the first place.”

Earlier on Thursday, FPM supporters protested near the Grand Serail to express their discontent with the Lebanese government’s mechanism of taking decisions in light of the presidential vacuum.

“The Lebanese Constitution entrusted the president the responsibility to guarantee political and constitutional equilibrium, and in case of presidential void..., the responsibility is temporarily transferred to the Cabinet as a whole,” the statement said.

“The Cabinet should thus, in this exceptional situation, commit to the mechanism of consensus when making decisions to guarantee this equilibrium.”

The statement meanwhile, accused al-Mustaqbal movement of endorsing “policies of unilateralism, arrogance and marginalization of the partners in the country throughout the past years.”

These policies have “undermined the state, paralyzed its constitutional institutions and pushed the aggrieved to raise the voice to demand the rights that were usurped through the bad implementation of the Taef Accord,” Loyalty to Resistance added.
