Al-Rahi: No One as Concerned with Lebanon as President, Hariri Must Expedite Formation
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi declared Wednesday, after his meeting with President Michel Aoun in Baabda, that “no one is as concerned with Lebanon as the President” and called on PM-designate Saad Hariri to "accelerate the government formation.”
Al-Rahi assured that the Pope's speech is “a guide for us, heads of churches,” and that “we will start working within our ecclesiastical framework to implement his recommendations.”
“We don’t have time to waste,” the Patriarch warned, remarking that “His Holiness is carrying the Lebanese cause deeply in his heart and conveying it to the international community," and that "we must work on solving our internal issues,” because “it is not acceptable that the Pope carries our cause to the world when we are not thinking about it ourselves."
Al-Rahi added that "everyone is violating the constitutional laws," calling on Hariri to "accelerate the government formation with President Aoun in accordance with the (Lebanese) constitution,” because “Lebanon is falling victim to this delay."
The Patriarch mentioned that he does not rule out the presence of “a plot targeting Lebanon.”
“Should we open the door for the thief, or should we fortify (our country)?" he asked.

This guy sings a different tune every day! He is Aouni at heart and after all what this regime has done to Lebanon he has not called for the resignation of the midget in Baabda.

So true. Unlike his predecessors, he didn’t manage to keep his distance from the rotten political class.

There is nothing left in the country for the thief to steal:)

The thief is already inside the country. You just met with him....

Concerned, but not in a hurry I guess. Maybe he should have spoken to Imbasil separately---everyone knows who is blocking the formation.

More and more, Al Rahi is demeaning our minds through his ignorant statements. Al Rahi know full well that Aoun has destroyed Lebanon by handing it to huzbullah, and yet, he's saying these disturbing words that makes him look ignorant in the eyes of the educated Christians like myself. I think Al Rahi should go back to school to learn how situations are assessed. He has the mind of a kid in such assessments.
