Al-Rahi Accuses Officials of 'Coup against Legitimacy'

W460

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Sunday lashed out at the bickering Lebanese officials, saying that “it seems that they don’t want a government.”

Instead “they are exchanging accusations night and day,” al-Rahi added, in his Sunday Mass sermon.

“Quit tampering with the sentiments of the people and stop messing with the state and fabricating new conditions whenever the old ones are resolved,” the patriarch said.

He added: “It has become clear that you are part of the coup against legitimacy and the state and that you don’t want a central government.”

“You are deliberately pushing the people to rule themselves by themselves,” al-Rahi went on to say.

Agree - the old man should also stop traveling in private jets and sell some of his bling to help poor people... Religion - Politics - Judiciary should be 3 separate things...

“It has become clear that you are part of the coup against legitimacy and the state and that you don’t want a central government.”

Al-Rahi Accuses Officials of 'Coup against Legitimacy'

This pos is trying to tell us he does not know that Aoun is the only one carrying out the coup against the constitution.
