Lady of the Mountain Gathering Calls for Aoun’s Resignation
A gathering of Lebanese Christians, known as “Lady of the Mountain Gathering” urged President Michel Aoun on Monday to resign from office over the deteriorating economic, financial and living conditions in the country.
“We regret how things have turned out, but in order for Lebanese and Christians not to pay the cost for mistaken policies, we demand the resignation of President Michel Aoun,” said ex-MP Fares Soaid on behalf of the gathering.
“We consider this resignation as a national duty,” he said.
Lebanon is mired in its worst economic crisis since the 1975-1990 civil war, with recovery hampered by endless political deadlocks.
Prime minister-designate Saad Hariri is struggling to form a cabinet to replace a government that resigned after a devastating August 4 blast at Beirut port.
