La'our added in interview with Arabs Today that his stand from unity has not changed from the start, either with Change Front or with other parties, which sharing MSP the same ideas, visions and attitudes. "From the beginning, I announced my support for this project, but rejected the illegal and wrong measures taken by the two political groups to implement it," he said.

"Is it conceivable that an extraordinary conference of this magnitude be held by specific delegates from the leadership of the two movements, and it is supposed to present the process of selecting delegates at the governorate level to be elected as effective representatives," La'our said. He added the leadership of the two movements deliberately to organize the conference in this manner, and wanted to be a conference to recommend certain individuals without discussion and enrichment of the most important sensitive files.

The former MP strongly opposed the idea of appointing Abdul Majeed Manassrah as head of MSP through recommendation without elections. He indicated that issue of presidency of the movement has been decided in advance and has been adapted to suit the leading leaders of the movement. "All steps taken to implement the unity project between the two political blocs were illegal and there was a clear violation of the law," he said.

He added MSP was supposed not to enter two battles at the same time, adding this may cause confusion in the political row.
