Phalange Party Hammer”s Skaff”s “Shameful” Stand

The Phalange Party of Wednesday labeled “shameful” remarks by opposition MP Elie Skaff ridiculing the mourning of two victims gunned down in Zahle by one of his alleged partisans.

 

“It is shameful in all humanitarian and ethical standards,” the Phalange Party statement said of a remark by Skaff that the funeral procession for the Zahle victims was “folklore” practice.

 

The party accused Skaff of “desperately defending the criminals, which raises doubts that he had, at least, advance knowledge of planning the crime.”
