RAHI BEFORE A KATAEB DELEGATION: I REFUSE TO QUESTION THE HOLDING OF PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS

Maronite Patriarch, Cardinal Bechara Boutros al-Rahi, received today a Lebanese Kataeb Party delegation, including heads and branch officials in the regions of Keserwan al-Ftouh and Jbeil, led by the Party’s Deputy Chief Salim al-Sayegh, who came to express their well-wishes to the Patriarch on the occasions of Christmas and New Year.

In his word before the delegation, the Patriarch stressed firm keenness on preserving Lebanon as a country of value and civilization, and on the active role it will continue to play despite everything.

“Today we live in this fateful stage, and we are preparing for parliamentary and presidential elections, and here I refuse to question whether the parliamentary elections will occur, for they will surely take place in May, just as the presidential elections will take place in October…We must be ready to fight for our cause,” al-Rahi asserted.

The Patriarch thanked the Kataeb delegation for their cherished visit, praising their role and principles in serving Lebanon as a one nation.
