Franjieh meets al-Rahi, mentions fifth column in al-Hajj arrest

Al-Marada leader Suleiman Franjieh met Thursday with Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi over the arrest and summons of archbishop Mussa al-Hajj.

Franjieh said that there's a fifth column in al-Hajj's case and asked who might benefit from the incident, as he condemned the act without blaming his allies, the Shiite Duo.

"The judiciary in Lebanon is politicized and judges are being subjected to political and media intimidation," Franjieh said.

Franjieh urged for a quick government formation, and stressed his good relation with al-Rahi.

"The relation with al-Rahi has always been and will always be excellent," he said.
