Qaouq: Hezbollah keen on consensus to halt collapse, save country

Hezbollah central council member Sheikh Nabil Qaouq on Monday stressed that his party is “keen on consensus, because Hezbollah’s priority is halting the collapse and deterioration and saving the country.”

“But the other camp’s priority is employing the collapse and exploiting it for political objectives,” he added.

“Lebanon is on the verge of a dangerous financial crisis and there is real fear over an uncontrolled surge in the dollar exchange rate. Our national responsibility obliges us and everyone to confront this to rescue the country from the coming crisis,” Qaouq went on to say.

“The main responsibility falls on the shoulders of the government and it must take the necessary measures to rescue the country from a new financial crisis, because the people can no longer bear crises,” the Hezbollah official said.
