Franjieh: We Can’t Tolerate that Lebanon Be Dominated by Certain Sect
Marada Movement leader MP Suleiman Franjieh on Sunday stressed that Lebanon can only survive through “consensus and unity among its various sects.”
“Throughout all the periods of our political action, we have not caused losses to the country like others did,” Franjieh said, addressing the cadres of his movement during a lecture in the northern town of Bnachii.
“We pride ourselves as a political party in being allied with the Resistance, because we believe in Arabism and resistance against Israel,” Franjieh added.
He stressed that his movement is “not with an axis against another.”
“We’re rather with the Arab identity of the country and its unity,” Franjieh noted, adding that “we won’t accept that any sect in Lebanon be neglected.”
“Thus, as Christians, we won’t accept to be neglected, and if we’re demanding our rights, that does not mean we are sectarian … that’s why we cannot tolerate that Lebanon be dominated by a certain sect,” Franjieh stressed.
