Nadim Gemayel Stresses on Army”s Sole Right to Carry Arms
Candidate Nadim Gemayel, who is running for the Maronite seat in Beirut 1 district, announced his electoral platform from Ashrafiyeh on Wednesday.
"We remain loyal to Bashir”s legacy and to the martyrs. We want a state protected by one army, which has the sole right to carry arms," said the son of slain President-elect Bashir Gemayel.
He said there should be no weapons in the hands of the Palestinians or the Lebanese even under the banner of resistance.
The young Gemayel also called for remembering the families of those who were martyred and were injured during the war. "We must compensate them for the rights they missed."
Gemayel also stressed on Lebanon”s sovereignty, saying June 7 must not be a passageway for the Syrian”s return to Lebanon.
"We stand firm on our convictions and principles and Lebanon”s 10452 square kilometers," Gemayel said.
