"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Geagea Says Direct Presidential Elections are Impossible- Naharnet

Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea has rejected calls made by the Change and Reform bloc leader, MP Michel Aoun, for direct presidential elections.
The election of a president by the people requires a huge change for the regime and needs calm and deep thinking, Geagea said in an interview with the Qatari al-Watan newspaper published on Thursday.
Such elections also require a Constitutional amendment which is impossible in these circumstances, said Geagea.
The LF chief stressed that he holds onto the Taef Accord, which is irreplaceable.
