Jumblat says 'not the right time' for 'reconsidering state structure'
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat criticized Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea's call for reconsidering the state's structure.
"What does he mean by reconsidering the Lebanese structure," Jumblat asked, in remarks published Tuesday in al-Joumhouria newspaper.
"Is this the right time to discuss modifying the structure," he added, stressing that "the country is collapsing."
Geagea had said that the entire Lebanese structure must be reevaluated, should Hezbollah manage to secure the election of a president in the way it wants.
"We must complete the implementation of the Taif Agreement first before Geagea or anyone else calls for something like this," Jumblat said.
