LF links lowering voting age to voting by expatriates

In an interview with Voice of Lebanon Radio, Lebanese Forces’ MP George Adwan commented on the issue of lowering voting age by saying: “There is a parliamentary session Monday and we will participate and voice our opinion on lowering the voting age to 18 years which is related to enabling the expatriates of voting; and the two subjects are reciprocally connected.”

In response to French FM Bernard Kouchner’s comments about Hezbollah and its arms , he said: We have never said that we will throw these arms in the sea. We want these arms to be handed over to the legitimate authority to strengthen the state and allow the Lebanese government to make war and peace decisions

Commenting about the cabinet Adwan said : “This is not a national unity government, but rather a government of minimum consensus. We believe that stability in Lebanon provides the national interest we are seeking as Lebanese Forces.”
