Al-Rahi Doesn’t Oppose Amending Taif Accord: Experience Has Revealed Some of its Flaws

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi stated on Monday that he does not oppose amending the Taif Accord “as experience has revealed several of its flaws.”

He said after holding talks with Change and Reform bloc MP Nematallah Abi Nasr: “We don’t mind change and if we needed a new agreement, then why not.”

The patriarch also called for devising a new electoral law, stressing that the law should not be modified to accommodate political leaderships.

The president should be granted more privileges, al-Rahi added.
