Labor Minister Mustafa Bayram stressed that the “parliamentary elections are crucial and decisive since they determine Lebanon’s policy for at least four years ahead.”

He, therefore, urged the Lebanese to “head massively to the polls on May 15 to send a message to the world that Lebanon is capable of managing itself.”

Bayram’s words came during a political forum organized today by Hezbollah Party in the town of Yohmor al-Shaqif, in presence of the town’s dignitaries.

The Minister hailed the town’s streadfastness and resistance in the face of the Israeli enemy, asserting that Israel is still placing Lebanon and its south within its security targetting range. “This calls us to be wary and alert to the Israeli dangers facing Lebanon and the need to strengthen the bonds of internal national unity and to rally around the resistance, the army, and the state and its institutions,” he said.

Bayram stressed the need to “solidify the national position and preserve the elements of power” in confrontation of the Israeli enemy through the “army, people and resistance equation” and “avoiding differences and rivalries.”
