Maronite League: Incomplete Success in Achieving Christian Reconciliation
The Maronite League has admitted to not being fully successful in efforts to achieve inter-Christian reconciliation and called for an election law that allows Christians to choose their own representatives.
Following its yearly meeting on Sunday, the League said it never saved an effort "in achieving Christian reconciliation."
"Even if it didn”t fully succeed in this regard, it was able … to create the right atmosphere to push all sides towards giving priority to reconciliations," a League statement said.
The statement added that the League did not interfere in the June 7 parliamentary polls and called for a modern law that reflects the appropriate representation of pollsters and allows Christians to choose their own representatives.
The conferees also discussed future challenges in the country and assessed the presence of Christians and mainly Maronites in state institutions.
During the meeting, MP Nehmatallah Abi Nasr stressed on the need to solve the issue of land sales to foreigners and called for the adoption of a law that gives the Lebanese nationality to expatriates or to people of Lebanese descent.
