Al-Rahi Meets Suleiman, Calls for Speeding up Govt. Formation

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi urged on Sunday the political leaders in Lebanon to speed up the government formation process.

He said in his Sunday sermon: “We hope they would immediately help the country out of the crisis through the formation of a Cabinet that would only work towards bolstering the dignity of the Lebanese people.”

“We call on them to find the appropriate solution that would enable the country’s higher authorities to take decisions that would save Lebanon at times when its constitutional institutions are crippled,” he added.

The patriarch had earlier met with President Michel Suleiman at the latter’s Amchit residence.

The two sides discussed the latest developments in Lebanon, with Suleiman praising the journalists and media’s effort to deliver the news to the people.
