Al-Rahi: Lebanon is Ill and in Need of Treatment

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi stated on Tuesday that the people are longing to “tear down the walls” that politics have erected between them.

He said before a consular delegation: “Lebanon is ill and need of treatment.”

“The government crisis has led us to economic ones and it has also crippled constitutional institutions,” he noted

“We know that we are living a democratic country, but practicing democracy has been forbidden as the opinions of the other have been rejected,” the patriarch stressed.
