Phalange: Govt. Distracting People with its Disputes instead of Tackling Citizens’ Concerns
The Phalange Party criticized on Monday the government’s performance, saying that the officials are acting as if the country does not have its daily challenges and problems.
It said in a statement after its weekly meeting: “The officials are on an unjustified political holiday, cabinet sessions are pointless, parliament has been obstructed, and vacuum has taken over the administrations.”
“The Lebanese people are struggling under the weight of their daily concerns and no one has lifted a finger to ease their suffering,” it added.
“The most dangerous matter is that the government is trying to distract the people with its internal disputes instead of tackling the citizens’ concerns,” it stressed.
The electricity file is the most recent distraction as “the government is leading the public to believe that the core of Lebanon’s problem lies in the energy sector,” it continued.
“The real problem lies in matters of justice, sovereignty, security, economy, and the possession of illegitimate arms,” noted the Phalange statement.
It also condemned Hizbullah’s undermining of the state’s authority as demonstrated in the recent discovery of a telecommunications network for the party in the town of Tarshish in the Bekaa region.
“This discovery demonstrates that Hizbullah is no longer focusing its attention on the South as part of its so-called resistance against Israel, but it is attempting to expand its statelet on the internal scene in Beirut, Mount Lebanon, the Bekaa, and the North,” it said.
The Phalange Party therefore called on the Lebanese government to explain to the public the truth behind the network, urging it to take swift measures to halt Hizbullah’s plan of dividing Lebanon.
