March 14 Leaders Discuss Aftermath of STL Indictment
Opposition leaders met at the Center House on Tuesday night to discuss the upcoming stage following the expected release of the indictment by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, An Nahar daily reported.
The newspaper said on Wednesday that the March 14 leaders also discussed alleged efforts by the new cabinet to circumvent the indictment in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s assassination.
Their talks came hours after al-Mustaqbal bloc held its weekly meeting.
It said in a statement: “The officials should be wary of backing down from the consensus, especially regarding the STL, because it will harm ties between the various Lebanese factions.”
“Passed experiences have taught us the importance of maintaining consensus over the main foundations of the state,” it added.
The bloc’s sources told An Nahar that the statement came as a result of Premier Najib Miqati’s “ambiguous stances who hasn’t clearly stated his commitment to the tribunal given that the national dialogue had taken a decision on it.”
