Youth and Sports Minister Talal Areslan summed up Monday the situation in Lebanon as one of "two simultaneous majorities," one was the parliamentary majority and the other was the opposition's popularity.
"The solution that the opposition is proposing is for both majorities to coexist and cohabitate inside a single executive authority.

"This suggestion embodies a 'Lebanese' solution to this Lebanese political problem," Areslan said following his election as head of the Lebanese Democratic Party.

He said the right path for Lebanon is to "adhere to the resistance as an essential deterrent force, to national unity and to a strategic relationship with Syria."
