Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Wednesday warned that the country is “in danger.”
“The country is in danger, because the constitution is in one place and we’re heading to another place,” al-Rahi said, during a meeting with a Kataeb Party delegation.
“The people are receiving the blows and the parliamentary blocs do not have the right to continue what they’re doing in the presidential file,” the patriarch added.
Separately, al-Rahi said that the recent attacks on lands owned by residents of the southern border town of Rmeish are “unacceptable,” noting that they resemble “what happened in Lassa.”
“The relevant authorities have informed us that they are incapable of doing anything. When we asked if there is a law or not, they answered that it exists but that they can’t enforce it,” the patriarch added.
