Patriarch al-Rahi: I Will Soon 'Spill the Beans'
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi lamented on Friday the “make or break” moral that the political parties raise their youth on, stressing that Lebanese politicians are still waiting for a green-light from foreign countries to elect a head of state.
“Soon I will spill the beans,” said the Patriarch, expressing resentment at the almost five month delay in electing a president.
He made his remarks during his ongoing trip to Sydney, Australia.
The politicians are still waiting for a green-light from abroad to elect a head of state, he was quoted as saying.
“I have come to the conviction that they want to change the Lebanese entity. They want a tripartite coalition government which we strongly reject,” he concluded.
Lebanon has been left without a president since May when the term of President Michel Suleiman ended.
Ongoing disputes between the rival March 8 and 14 camps have thwarted the election of his successor.
