Aoun: Every party has right to have candidate without being accused of treason

Ex-president and Free Patriotic Movement founder Michel Aoun has stressed that “our system is democratic and our constitution protects freedom of opinion.”

“Accordingly, every political party has the right to have a presidential candidate, without that drawing a rhetoric of treason accusations and threats of biblical proportions,” Aoun tweeted.

“Respecting the other and their rights is part of the foundations of national unity and coexistence,” he added.

“Those who want the country must respect these principles,” the former president stressed.
