The paper, on the other hand, said that controversy still continued between the two wings of the Communist parties chaired by Wisal Farha Bikdash and Youssef Faisal on the ground of a dialogue held by representatives of the two sides in the framework of developing political work, and after Daniel Nemeh proposed the issue of expanding the front by including the civil society group.

But I am against the one who brings in foreigners to the homeland under the pretext of defending freedoms."
