Bassil calls for fully abolishing sectarianism, not only in politics

W460

Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil has addressed Prime Minister Nawaf Salam by saying that “broad administrative decentralization should be also financial or it cannot exist.”

Separately, he said in the same X post that “the constitution stipulated that the mission of the National Commission (for the Abolition of Political Sectarianism) would be proposing methods to fully abolish sectarianism.”

“Exclusively abolishing political sectarianism would stand for the hegemony of the numerical majority over the minority,” he warned.

He added: “To all Lebanese I say: They all granted the government their confidence and only the FPM has become the opposition.”

Typical of the Free Patriotic Movement. At the same time standing for and against everyone and everything, while believing in nothing.

Article 24, which sets aside half of parliament to Christians, also says that this will only endure until a new system is devised. "Until such time as the Chamber enacts new electoral laws on a non-confessional basis, the distribution of seats shall be according to the following principles: Equal representation between Christians and Muslims." Now Bassil is talking like a leader.
