Head of the Kataeb Party Amin Gemayel questioned the ongoing vacancy in the presidency and the “suicide of Christians” who are contributing to the vacuum, reported the daily An Nahar on Saturday.
He told the daily in an interview: “Dialogue that does not lead to quorum at parliament and the election of a president is pointless.”
He made his remark in reference to the dialogue between the rival Lebanese Forces and Free Patriotic Movement.
“The obstruction of the role of the presidency is suicide for Christians and state institutions,” he declared.
“The worst that we can do is grow accustomed to the vacuum,” noted Gemayel.
Lebanon has been without a president since May when the term of Michel Suleiman ended without the election of a successor.
Ongoing disputes between the rival March 8 and 14 camps over a compromise candidate have thwarted the polls.
