Jumblat Renews Call for End of Political Sectarianism
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat renewed his call for the establishment of a committee to consider ways of ending political sectarianism in line with the Taef Accord.
"We reiterate our call for the establishment of a national committee to abolish political sectarianism which is supposed to be the entrance for the development of the political system," Jumblat told the weekly al-Anbaa, mouthpiece of his PSP.
He believed it was important at this point to remind people that the first clause unanimously approved by all-party dialogue participants was the international tribunal.
Jumblat said equally important was to neutralize" the Lebanese judiciary from political bickering "because attacking the judiciary … weakens the self-esteem of this authority which remains a refuge for justice and law."
