No Lebanon without the Constitution. However, no Constitution and no state without the Cedar revolution
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea urged the president and premier-designate on Friday to include in the cabinet the largest possible number of parliamentary blocs.
"There is no Lebanon without the constitution and no state without its institutions," Geagea said during a ceremony in honor of LF students in Dbayeh. "However, there is neither a state nor a constitution without the Cedar revolution."
"We strongly back the efforts of the president and premier-designate to form the new cabinet," Geagea said, urging Michel Suleiman and Saad Hariri "to use their constitutional authorities and form a government that includes the largest possible number of parliamentary blocs."
The LF leader said Suleiman and Hariri should neither exclude any side nor allow Lebanon to become a "victim of interests."
In an apparent reference to Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah”s criticism of Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir, Geagea said: "Lebanon”s glory has been given to it. We don”t want glory from anyone."
During an Iftar earlier this week, Fadlallah stressed that "Lebanon”s glory has been given to the struggling and resilient people."
He was referring to a popular proverb in Lebanon saying that the "glory of Lebanon is given to the Maronite patriarch."
