Zahra concerned over eliminating political sectarianism
In an interview with the As-Sharq radio station on Thursday, Lebanese Forces bloc MP Antoine Zahra touched on Lebanon’s “long-term solution”, a reference to the plan to end political sectarianism that Speaker Nabih Berri proposed on Wednesday. Zahra, however, said the solution should not take precedence over other important issues.
“We cannot favor this issue over others, because it will give an extremely negative message to the Lebanese, who are scared of implementing a plan that would lead to one group dominating another in Lebanon.” Zahra said.
He also said he welcomed any meeting that would take place between the opposing political parties, praising President Michel Sleiman’s recent efforts at reconciliation between the Progressive Socialist Party and the Marada Movement.
