The Syrian Future Movement and National Consensus
Enhancing “national consensus and agreement” is a fundamental pillar for any political system and achieving constitutional legitimacy. Therefore, it has been one of the main principles and starting points for the Syrian Future Movement.
The Syrian Future Movement believes in diversity, not division, and in political pluralism, not repetition! It considers this diversity as enriching for the country and beneficial for the citizens, rejecting the idea of a single leading party.
