Lebanese religious president condemns MPs for disappointing Lebanese people
(MENAFN) The chief of the Maronite Church in Lebanon on Sunday started a withering invasion on the country’s political presidents blaming them as they disappointed the Lebanese people and the world.
In his Sunday address, Maronite Patriarch Bechara Boutros Al-Rahi urged for urgent international interference to help resolve Lebanon’s dire political and financial situation, accusing members of parliament for abandoning their responsibilities to Lebanon.
On the words of Al-Rahi: “Everything that the political and parliamentary group does is contrary to the foundations on which Lebanon has been built since its founding.
“It does not respect the idea of Lebanon’s establishment, partnership, pluralism, independence, the National Pact, Taif (Agreement), and the constitution.
“Is there a deliberate decision to demolish existing Lebanon and build on its ruins a draft state that does not belong to its people, its history, or its surroundings?”
The religious leader’s remarks came after MPs’ couldn’t for a ninth time to elect a new leader, with many politicians at Thursday’s vote spoiling their ballots.
“This means that they do not want to elect a president, or they are not qualified to elect a president,” he also said.
