Jumblat Meets March 14 Figures, Agrees with Most of Their Positions

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat has been holding meetings with a number of high-ranking March 14 officials, during which his views have coincided with theirs, reported the Central News Agency on Wednesday.

Sources told the agency that the last of these meetings was held at the residence of one of these figures and it stressed the importance of adhering to centrism during the current phase the country is going through.

The sources said that the MP informed his former allies that he agrees with their views.

Jumblat had broken away from the March 14 camp on August 2, 2009.

Earlier this year, on January 21, he announced his “steady support for Syria and the Resistance in order for the democratic game to take its course in Lebanon away from sectarian alliances.”

On January 24, during the period of parliamentary consultations to elect a new premier, he announced the dissolution of the Democratic Gathering bloc and the formation of the National Struggle Front, which later nominated Najib Miqati to the premiership.
