During a commemorative ceremony in the city of Kafr Sir, Qaouk reaffirmed that the Shiite movement sees the current stage positively and with a spirit of compromise in order to appoint the new head of state whose priority is to save the nation from a total collapse.

The representative of the Islamic Resistance indicated that the team of defiance and confrontation encourages confrontation with more than half of the people, without confronting the enemies or alleviating the suffering of the Lebanese.

Qaouk added that anti-Hizballah political forces and their allies upheld this logic during voting sessions in Parliament and failed seven times in their bid to name a rival leader.

In this sense, the member of the Central Council called for putting confrontation aside and accepting that the country needs dialogue and national consensus as the safest way to elect the representative of the Maronite Christian community to occupy the presidency in the next six years.

Lebanon is going through its fourth power void after independence, under an interim government, fragmentation in Parliament and in the midst of the deterioration of its worst economic crisis in the modern era.

Next Thursday, just in the first month of constitutional vacancy, the Lebanese deputies will return to plenary to hold the eighth session in order to appoint the 14th head of state since 1943.
