The Loyalty to the Resistance bloc said that Speaker Nabih Berri's call for dialogue is a new opportunity to find a solution to the present crisis.
"Berri's initiative must not be countered by the ruling team's conditions and must not be divided, or else it will fail," the bloc said through a statement.
"The only way to be able to hold the presidential elections is by agreeing over the dialogue's agenda," it added.
The bloc noted that the majority did not react to Berri's initiative in a positive way. "They rejected it because they are influenced by international parties who do not want a solution."
"National consensus must prevail. And the reason behind the crisis is the pro-government party's rejection of the principle of national participation. The solution lies in respecting this principle," the bloc's statement said.
