Rahi: State’s Destiny Not subject to Individual Interests

W460

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi emphasized on Monday that the State’s destiny must not be conditional upon the interests of individuals or parties.

“It is not permissible at all to link the fate of the State’s entity, people and capabilities to the interest of an individual or party, no matter how strong they believe themselves to be. No one is stronger than his people,” said Rahi.

The Patriarch regretted the obstacles standing before the formation of a government, that would gain the confidence of the people.

According to him, this delay will cause collapse and the fall of the state.
