Al-Rahi Urges Political Blocs to 'Abide by Constitution, Facilitate Govt. Formation'
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Sunday called on the country's politicians to “abide by the constitution” and facilitate the formation of the new cabinet.
The government must be “inclusive and competent in line with the National Pact and the constitution,” al-Rahi said in his Sunday Mass sermon.
And calling on politicians to rise above “personal and partisan interests,” the patriarch urged the political and parliamentary blocs to “abide by the constitution and the Taef Accord and to facilitate the formation of the government.”
He also called on them to seek “the country's welfare and the rise of the state of law and institutions.”
