Free Patriotic Movement chief MP Jebran Bassil on Thursday charged that the Brussels international conference was held to fund the naturalization of Syrian refugees in the countries they had fled to, as he stressed that “sectarianism will not save anyone” in the anti-corruption battle.
“The state and its reform are more important than any settlement, understanding or alliance, and even more important than the presidential tenure and the presidency, seeing as the state is more important than its president and he is in its service and not vice versa,” Bassil said at an FPM ceremony marking the 30th anniversary of the 1989 Liberation War.
“In the name of the settlement we will not remain silent over anyone, and in the name of the understanding and alliance will not be lenient with anyone, because we want the presidential tenure and the state to succeed,” Bassil added.
