MP Michel Aoun says FPM not determined to back off from reform plan

The head of the Change and Reform parliamentary bloc MP Michel Aoun slammed parties who supported the electricity plan and then backed off from it.

Speaking during a dinner organized by his Free Patriotic Movement, Aoun accused some parties of obstructing the movement’s reforms, but vowed not to give up. “We are determined not to back off from our reform plan, not just that of electricity but of the tax system, maritime property and water projects,” he said. “We are at important crossroads … We hold onto our reform and security approach … We might call for negative stances because we won’t give up.”

The FPM works for a stable and prosperous nation and does not serve another state or embassy, Aoun emphasized. Lebanon will remain stable, he said, adding that Syria will also remain stable. “If the people are united, no one can vanquish them.”
