Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Sunday said he welcomes “every step towards understanding and consensus over a president’s election,” as the opposition prepares to declare the name of its presidential candidate.
Al-Rahi, however, warned against the so-called “winner and loser” approach between “individuals or the country’s components.”
“This would lead to a dangerous rift in the country, while the unity and welfare of Lebanon and its people are needed,” the patriarch added.
