The Local Coordination Committees (LCC), a network of activists on
the ground in Syria, threatened Thursday to pull out of opposition bloc
the Syrian National Council over its "monopolization" of power.
The threat came after Paris-based academic Burhan Ghalioun was
reelected head of the exiled coalition in the face of opposition by some
members of the secretariat and rules that require the president's
rotation every three months.
"The deteriorating situation in the SNC is an impetus for us to take
actions, which could begin with a freeze [of LCC membership in the SNC]
and end with a withdrawal if errors are not solved and demands for
reform go unmet," the LCC said in a statement.
These "errors" were "a total absence of consensus between the SNC's
vision and that of the revolutionaries"; "a marginalization of most
(LCC) representatives"; and "a monopolization of decision-making by
influential members of the executive bureau."
