Phalange Party Urges Govt., Dialogue Committee to Hold Emergency Meeting on Disarmament
The Phalange Party on Monday called on the government and the national dialogue committee to hold an extraordinary meeting “that would take a beneficial resolution, or a ‘Statement Number One’, on disarming all groups without exception.”
The party also called for “defining a clear timeframe and mechanism” for the sought disarmament, in a statement issued after the weekly meeting of its political bureau.
The conferees warned of the “deadly repercussions that have started to emerge due to the government’s abandonment of its responsibilities and resignation from its main missions in security, economy and finance.”
They also slammed “the support offered to the culture of violence and assassinations which are posing a threat to the leaders of the March 14 coalition, which puts the government in the cage of accusation, at least for its negligence.”
And as the political bureau warned authorities against “dealing lightly with the assassination attempt against MP Boutros Harb,” it stressed that “it will not let authorities rest before revealing the truth in the assassinations of minister Pierre Gemayel and MP Antoine Ghanem.”
The party also warned of possible full-blown security chaos in the country, saying it would represent “an additional evidence on the government’s impotence.”
