Report: Jumblat to Announce New Strategy, Shifts Positions
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat shifted his position, as he is seeking to return to the March 14-led opposition, the Kuwaiti al-Anbaa newspaper reported on Thursday.
“We’ve budged, we moved to another position and we’re waiting for the right time to announce this,” March 14 sources quoted Jumblat as saying.
The sources told the daily that Jumblat returned to the stances he used to support.
“He (Jumblat) practically shifted back to the positions that he used to call for before he left the coalition,” the sources said.
Al-Anbaa said that Jumblat is holding consecutive meetings with his former allies mainly with MP Marwan Hamadeh.
On Wednesday, al-Liwaa newspaper reported that Jumblat is seeking to revive the “Democratic Gathering.”
In January 2007, Jumblat announced the end of his Democratic Gathering parliamentary bloc, and named his new bloc the National Struggle Front.
Four MPs Marwan Hamadeh, Henry Helou, Antoine Saad and Fouad al-Saad, were not part of Jumblat's bloc anymore.

this government didn't do any thing from what was an empty plan to not do anything anyway, all their task was to arrest Syrian opposition members in Lebanon, help Syrian regime escape the international blockade, and defend the Syrian regime against it's people in the UN security council and in the Arab League, apart from that, they didn't do anything.

all he wants is to preserve his feodal system that makes him za3im for his sect
statesman are for a state

jumblat is the only politician in lebanon who has the capacity of shifting positions without a major harm, becose of his fixed minimum support among his people.
his people can sometimes sisagree with him but always vote for him.
for sure the druze will be more relaxed with m14 .....

Another blow to... M14!
Who wants that flopper in their ranks?
Will they do the mistake of accepting him back so that he could back stab them when it would hurt the most?
How about completly resigning and leaving politics ya walid?

Jumblatt, the survivor is stepping away from the sinking ship of Assad. Aoun the exile is embracing Assad.
The signals could not be more clear, Jumblatt's distancing, Aoun's embrace, Assad will be gone very soon.

2012 M14, 2013 M8, 2014 M14, 2015 M8...
too predictable now...
The only question is whether he'll be with M8 or M14 for next elections...

The only reason he went the other way is because of threats from the Hezz. The Hezz is moving down in tandem with ASSad. No one cares about them anymore.

It's a wonder what control of a few barrels of Libyan oil can buy these days. 1 druze leader with no self respect or morals. Who can trust a guy who sells his soul to the highest bidder and why is he still the leader of the druze. Time for the druze to wakeup and look after thier own concerns rather than Walid's bank account.
