Geagea Lashes Out at those Seeking to Undermine Lebanon’s Democracy

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Saturday slammed some parties in the government for seeking to undermine the democratic principles that the Lebanese system is based on.

“They are trying to put the Lebanese in the opposite direction that the region’s people are heading to,” Geagea told a conference on professions organized by the LF at Maarab.

The LF leader accused them of using “sticks on the rest of the Lebanese and even some constitutional institutions and state agencies.”

Furthermore, he accused them of keeping Lebanon in an unstable situation, a move that is reflecting negatively on the living conditions of Lebanese.

He said the Lebanese should either have allegiance to the state “or there won’t be any freedom and democracy in Lebanon.”

Geagea urged the Lebanese to engage in the battle against injustice and fight dictatorships in the region.
