إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel said on Saturday that the March 14-led opposition supporters’ victory in the Students elections at Notre Dame University - Louaize (NDU) is a model of democracy and an achievement for Lebanon.
“This is additional evidence that the Lebanese youth know exactly what future they want for their kids,” Gemayel said during a meeting with a delegation from the Phalange party students at the NDU.
He stressed that the “attacks” on the students prove that they want to impose a “new sanctions law” on those who express their right by celebrating their victory.
Scores of students affiliated in the Phalange Party on Friday blocked the Zouk Mosbeh-Jeita highway to protest the army’s arrest of three of their comrades who were using fireworks to celebrate their victory in student elections at the NDU.
“We refuse to be exploited… And we refuse to have any (Lebanese) under the law or constitution,” Gemayel stressed.
For his part, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea said that the victory achieved by the March 14 supporters at the NDU was reached by “our continuous efforts.”
“Students elections reflect the reality of our community. Again the Christians proved what they want and who they support,” he stated.
Geagea said during a meeting with an LF delegation from the NDU that Christians “are with the state against the statelets, with stability against war… they support the Arab spring against the oppressive regimes.”
The LF leader said that the Christians “are with God but against Hizbullah.”

Beirut Star, please know the facts before giving incorrect comments:
By constitution & origin Lebanon is a Christian Country. Look at the Laws, look at t days off (I.e Saturday & Sunday), look at the top governmental positions (I.e President, Head of the Army, etc..). Also when you say that 70% are muslim, please be more accurate, in other words, Yes maybe 60-70% of Lebanese living in Lebanon are Muslim, but if you look at the world Population of Lebanese there is by far more Christians then Muslims. Now these are the facts, but put the facts aside, I as a Christian believe to my core that Lebanon would not be what it is without our Muslim brothers, and vice versa. I believe that our country needs to support all religions factions and we should all live in peace, without oppression and corruption, But that doesn't mean ill accept anyone calling Lebanon a Muslim country! i say this with all my respect to Muslims, Druze, & every other faction that makes up the Lebanese population!
