Sfeir Sets the Priorities: Presidential Election First

Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir on Sunday said the nation”s priority is to elect a president before discussing other topics of difference between the majority and the Hizbullah-led opposition.

 

The ongoing split “calls up on us to speed up the election of a president so that other issues can be organized after that,” Sfeir said his Sunday sermon at Bkirki.

 

“What we witness today at the political level requires a united view regarding the nation”s issues,” Sfeir said.

 

“Attention should be focused on Lebanese worries so that we can recognize the deteriorating status that the people has plunged into and maintain loyalty to the interest of Lebanon and not those of others,” the Patriarch stressed.
