The Slogan of the Third Republic Is a Coup d”Etat
Phalange Party Leader Amin Gemayel said Thursday that the concept of the Third Republic adopted by Change and Reform bloc leader MP Michel Aoun "obstructs the role of the president."
"Adopting the slogan of the Third Republic is a coup d”etat," and it does not respect national fundamentals," Gemayel said, warning that it prevents the president from "performing his basic responsibilities."
"The slogans of the opposition are obstructive," Gemayel said after a meeting with members of the March 14 list in Aley, adding "however, the role of these forces has always been to disrupt power."
Gemayel called voters to choose between a free and sovereign Lebanon and a country that follows regional powers.
