Geagea: No Stability Amid Disagreements, Only March 14 Capable of Establishing Strong State

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea stressed on Saturday that Lebanon would not enjoy stability as long as its citizens are in disagreement.

“The authority in Lebanon is practically lost,” Geagea told a delegation of businessmen visiting him at his residence in Maarab.

“Where would stability come from if the country doesn’t have a demarcated border and known authority and lacks citizens that agree on the concept of nation?” he wondered.

The LF leader said that stability requires a country with demarcated borders and an authority that can protect it.

“How would we have an economy and an economic cycle” if the authority is lost?, he asked.

He urged the Lebanese to start reforming politics before anything else. “We have to fight till the end. We should start by fixing politics and then we could fix everything else.”

Geagea stressed that Lebanon would have a strong and capable state only if the March 14 forces come back to power.

“We should always work on achieving this objective,” he said.
