We will prevail with all parliamentary seats in Metn
After meeting with Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir at Bkirki on Thursday, MP Michel al- Murr said the electoral list in the Metn district was almost finalized, but it would not be announced before May. “We would not be winners if we win only 5 out of 7 parliamentary seats in the Metn. We should win 7 out of 7,” he said.
Murr said that the ballots would prove the Greek Orthodox presence in the Achrafieh and Metn districts, noting that Sfeir did not involve himself with electoral battles.
The MP also said that Telecommunications Minister Gebran Bassil would have made a mistake, if it turned out that he had in fact withheld information from the military institutions.
Murr said the targeting of the Lebanese army was unacceptable, a reference to Monday’s deadly ambush of the army in Riyaq.
