Makhzoumi: the difficult regional situation requires the improvement of the political performance

The head of the National Dialogue Party, Mr. Fouad Makhzoumi, stated that the hectic atmosphere of the last two phases of municipal elections is not commensurate with the reality of the municipal work or with the circumstances in the country in terms of political developments, whether positive or negative. He also stated that the Turkish-Brazilian-Iranian agreement relating to the exchange of Iranian uranium for nuclear fuel in Turkey is a positive step with regards to the area and particularly the Gulf region. This also serves to help remove the explosive situation from the hands of Netanyahu’s extremist government.
Mr. Makhzoumi expressed his view that the priority in Lebanon must be to revitalize governmental work and deal with the issues of the citizens. The difficult regional situation stemming from the Israeli threats to Lebanon and Syria calls for improved political performance by the various political powers, particularly those affiliated with the national unity government. The conflict over the municipal councils on the importance of these councils for development and for services to the citizens is unacceptable and does not make any sense. These councils have no power in the absence of administrative decentralization. In any case, these councils must not engage in conflict or become measures of victories or defeats for whatever reason. The maintenance of national unity and civil peace must be the priority.
