Al-Rahi: State Can’t Be Built over Statelets, Each Party Formed its Own State
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi described on Friday the incident at one of the Telecommunications Ministry buildings on Thursday as unfortunate, lamenting the lack of responsibility demonstrated by the political class.
He said: “The state cannot be built over statelets and each political party has formed its own state under its own authority.”
“We should pray that God inspire our Lebanese officials to assume their duties with dignity because politics should be meant to achieve the general good,” he stressed.
“We will pray for Lebanon and the Middle East … asking God that these days be the beginning of a new phase where Arab countries would witness more public and personal freedoms,” the patriarch remarked.
