The Minister of Labor Mohammed Fneish said "those who say will not participate in government if the opposition wins the coming parliamentary elections, do not believe in power-sharing or accord logic, which reflects the mentality that has subjected Lebanon for the past four years to many problems and instability."

He said "the logic of the cancellation out ‘the other', exclusivity in decision making and monopoly in the management of the country's affairs, coupled with the inability to provide constitutional representation, brings a great deal of problems between the political currents in the country. "

Fneish minister's comments came at a political meeting in the town of Qana, which praised the attitudes of those who "during the recent few days dealt with some of the events with reason and wisdom, their positions showed a high sense of responsibility in their control of tensions and preventing any reaction.

He emphasized that "the opposition is exercising its responsibility and role, moreover, it is willing to provide all the appropriate and conducive atmospheres to holding fair and clean elections, in which we resort to the popular will, and accept its results based on the power-sharing principle, because Lebanon can only be governed through partnership, accord and understanding."
