Voters Must Choose Between Cultures of Life or Death
Deputy Head of the Achrafieh Kataeb branch Nadim Gemayel called on all Lebanese, the citizens of Beirut’s first electoral district in particular, to participate in the 2009 parliamentary elections.
He said voters had to choose between a culture of death and wars and the country being used as a military base, and the culture of life, freedom and civilization.
Gemayel said that Lebanon would be in danger if voters backed the pro-Syrian alliance made up of Hezbollah, the Syrian Social Nationalist Party and others, adding that residents of the Beirut district of Achrafieh had to express their presence and use their political role.
Gemayel said he hoped the Special Tribunal for Lebanon would reach its objective as soon as possible, adding that by revealing the identity of those behind the 2005 assassination former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and the other “Cedar Revolution martyrs,” part of his party’s rights would be restored after the assassination of his father, former President Bachir Gemayel. “The criminal is one,” he added.
Gemayel said that the agreement between the Kataeb and the Lebanese Forces was almost complete, saying that both parties had the same cause and that it was impossible for them to quarrel.
Gemayel said that the March 14 alliance would run united in the elections in all Lebanese regions.
