Franjieh Slams 'Idiotic Thinking' of 'Christian Officials'

Marada Movement chief Suleiman Franjieh has criticized what he described as the “idiotic thinking” of “Christian officials.”

“The enemy today is idiotic thinking,” Franjieh said during a meeting with Marada’s engineers bureau.

“The outsmarting attempts by some officials, especially Christian officials, will lead us to destruction, instead of being a bridge between all sects and a meeting and openness point, while preserving our dignity, faith and pride,” the Marada leader added.

Separately, he stressed that his relation is good with “Syria and with President Bashar al-Assad in person, as well as with the Resistance.”

“Our affiliation is clear and what differentiates us from others is our ability to communicate and talk to everyone while preserving our principles, constants and political stance,” Franjieh went on to say.

Moreover, the Marada chief said he is against the arrest of Central Bank chief Riad Salameh.

“Some are trying to deceive the people by saying that putting the central bank governor in jail would solve the problem. This is untrue, because imprisoning him may satisfy this group, but it won’t solve the problem of depositors’ funds,” Franjieh explained.
