Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi said on Friday that the failure of politicians to elect a president is linked to “personal and sectarian interests,” as he shamed them over the prolonged vacuum.
“It is not enough to verbally demand the election of a president. The politicians must first come up with new initiatives. Shame on the political parties that over two years and five months since the term of the president ended, they fail to find a solution or suggest new initiatives because of their adamant stances,” said Rahi.
