Berri Rejects Labeling his Sacrifice for Faisal Karami as ‘Charity’
Speaker Nabih Berri rejected labeling his sacrifice of one of AMAL’s Shiite seats in government for the Sunni figure of Faisal Karami as “charity”, reported the daily An Nahar on Saturday.
He stated: “Karami represented the entire passed Sunni opposition.”
Commenting on a mufti from the South’s statements that his sacrifice “broke the Berlin wall of sectarianism,” the speaker said: “This is my pledge to the Shiite sect.”
“I was certain that my step would be met positively,” he added.
“This sect that presented rivers of blood in its combat of Israel will not shy away from sacrificing a ministerial portfolio,” Berri stressed.
