has agreed with the Progressive Socialist Party on a "unified approach" regarding the formation of the new government, LF leader Samir Geagea
...Geagea was imprisoned by the Syrians and their puppets for 11 years in a dungeon in the third basement level of the Lebanese Ministry of Defense. He was released after the Cedar Revolution in 2005...said on Monday.
"The opposition must unify its efforts in order to stop the ruling camp’s plans," Geagea added, following talks in Maarab with MPs Akram Shehayyeb and Wael Abu Faour of the PSP.
"The delay in the formation of the government is not due to (U.S. mediator Amos) Hochstein’s visit nor due to the formation of the (parliamentary) committees; the reason is that some are trying to seize control of the government to benefit from appointments prior to the presidential term’s expiry," Geagea charged.
"They are trying to consolidate their positions," he added.
He also stressed that "there is only one door for salvation ahead of us, which coordination among the opposition."
"We will leave the naming of a PM candidate to the Strong Republic bloc’s last meeting" before the parliamentary consultations, Geagea went on to say.
