Gemayel Meets Berri: Developments in Lebanon are Suicide
Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel condemned on Tuesday last week’s incident at a Telecommunications Ministry building at al-Adliyeh, describing it as “unacceptable.”
He stressed after holding talks with Speaker Nabih Berri: “Blame in this issue cannot be made based on media reports.”
“We are more concerned with the vacuum in Lebanon … and there are other issues in Lebanon, such as economic and social ones, that are not being addressed,” he stated.
“There is a scary and destructive vacuum and the developments in Lebanon are suicide,” he stressed.
“The president’s role has been obstructed because the government’s functioning has been obstructed, while parliament cannot assume Cabinet’s role,” he continued.
“All state apparatuses are in a state of confusion in this governmental vacuum,” the Phalange leader said.
A government should be formed as soon as possible, because once it is established, all pending issues can be addressed, Gemayel noted.
Commenting on Berri’s statement that the March 14 camp has set the country back 60 years, he said: “If only we could go back 60 years, at least back then, decisions in the country were taken through state institutions and not from across the border.”
