MP says FPM trying to be 'bridge between Defiance camp and opposition'
MP Salim Aoun of the Free Patriotic Movement has stressed that “the FPM does not intend to move from one alignment to another, because Lebanon’s structure necessitates consensus over the presidential juncture, not confrontation.”
“The FPM is trying to be a bridge between the (Hezbollah-led) Defiance (camp) and the opposition in order to reach common denominators,” Aoun said in an interview with Radio All of Lebanon.
Expecting the presidential vacuum period to protract, the MP said that “the FPM’s mission is not easy.”
Aoun also denied that “the FPM backpedaled after endorsing ex-minister Jihad Azour,” noting that “things have not yet reached the stage of agreeing on a candidate.”
