Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea said Wednesday he complained to PM Rafik Hariri about actions of security agencies that violate the citizen's rights and stressed there were no changes in the objectives of the March 14 forces.
"Such actions (in certain areas) violate political freedoms and the right of the citizen," Geagea said following talks with Hariri at the Grand Serail.

Hariri promised to deal with the issue, he told reporters.

On the possible participation of some March 8 forces in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri's 5th assassination anniversary, the LF leader said: "Any rapprochement in the country would be in everyone's interest."

However, he warned about attempts to disregard differences of opinion between the March 8 and 14 forces.

He welcomed anyone who wants to participate in the Feb. 14 mass rally at Martyrs' square, saying however that the occasion is based on March 14 principles.

Geagea reiterated that the March 14 objectives and principles remain unchanged.

Asked about his stance from the issue of proportionality in municipal elections, the LF leader said: "I am convinced more than before that some parties, for some reason or the other, prefer the postponement of the polls."

"We are with the continuous reform of the electoral system whether on the municipal or parliamentary level ... However, reforms do not mean postponement of the municipal elections," Geagea told reporters.
