Arslan Says 18-seat Cabinet ‘Marginalizes’ Druze Community
Head of the Lebanese Democratic Party on Wednesday expressed dismay at the chances that a new government could be formed of 18 ministerial seats instead of 20, which would grant the Druze community one seat instead of two.
“We heard yesterday there is a progress in the formation (of a government) which has become a necessary need for the Lebanese in these exceptional circumstances the country is passing through,” said Arslan in a tweet.
Adding, but “that must not be at the expense of the Druze and their marginalization. We hold the presidents responsible for the prejudice that will afflict us as a sect in the government of 18 ministers,” he said.
Arslan said he did voice preferences that a government of 16 or 20 cabinet seats grants the Druze “proper” representation.

And his comments marginalize the Lebanese community. We are in LEBANON, not DRUZISTAN.

STop nagging like women Mister Arslan.
The interest of the country is above and more important than the community one.
