A new political gathering, led by ex-MP and former Secretariat General Coordinator of the March 14 Alliance, Fares Soueid, was launched on Saturday under the name "The Constitution First."
The main highlights of the group’s manifesto included:
-The enactment of a new electoral law, including the redrawing of electoral districts to ensure fair and equitable representation of all components of Lebanese society.
-The restoration of Lebanon’s democratic system based on clear majority and minority dynamics, rather than a so-called "sectarian consensus."
-The reaffirmation of the state’s full sovereignty over its land, waters, borders, airspace, citizens, and residents, as well as over its defense and foreign policies.
-A firm commitment to international resolutions — particularly UN Resolutions 1559, 1680, and 1701 — which safeguard Lebanon’s sovereignty and counter Israeli ambitions toward its territory and waters.
-An assertion that the protection of Lebanon is a sovereign right and the exclusive responsibility of the Lebanese Army and security forces.
-A commitment to the United Nations and the Arab League, with Lebanon reaffirming its obligations as a founding member of both organizations.
-Hezbollah’s regional role and military nature have come to an end; its continued existence as an armed group operating under Iranian command is incompatible with Lebanon’s independence and sovereignty.
-A full and unconditional independence of the judiciary and a commitment to combat corruption, particularly political corruption.
