"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Bassil at FPM Demo: We Want Free President Elected by People, Proportional Representation- Naharnet

Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil announced Friday during a mass rally in Beirut's Martyrs Square that the Free Patriotic Movement wants “a free president elected by his people” and “a parliament elected through a proportional representation law.”
“We want a free president elected by his people with decisions emanating from his popular and constitutional strength. We want a parliament that does not extend its own term or violate its powers, a parliament elected through a proportional representation law, which can give youths a chance,” said Bassil.
Agence France-Presse and The Associated Press said “thousands” of protesters took part in the FPM rally. The demonstrators carried the movement's trademark orange flags, as well as a few flags of Hizbullah, the FPM's main ally.
