Sectarian Reality Reached a Dangerous Advanced Stage That Demands System Development
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat said that "the sectarian reality in Lebanon has reached a dangerous advanced stage which demands thorough and calm thinking that enhances the political system and liberates the Lebanese citizen from the government”s bounding decisions".
Jumblat in his weekly stance in al-Anbaa newspaper, stressed on the necessity to create a senate that allows an even and balanced representation of all sects and a respect to their rights. According to Jumblat, the senate would deal with the bigger national and crucial cases and will dissipate the fears of those who suffer from it.
On this front, Jumblat considers that the election system should be developed to fairly represent all political parties according to their sizes and put a halt to the financial and sectarian feudalism by enriching the parliament with different [political] perspectives.
"It”s time to leave biddings on crucial matters behind. Bigger national issues are not conducted by harassment but by a balanced and sober dialogue," said Jumblat.
