Monsignor Odeh: Is the impoverishment of the people intentional?

On the anniversary of the murder of Gebran Tueni, the metropolitan of Beirut and its dependencies declared to the Greek Orthodox Archbishop Elias Odeh, saying: “Today we lament the stability in the presence of rulers far from wisdom, justice and equality.”

Odeh said: “If Gibran Tueni and his ilk were among us, we would not have gotten where we have come, and they would have pushed the people into a fruitful rebellion.”

Archbishop Odeh stated: “Private interests prevail over the interests of the homeland, the citizen suffers and no one listens, and the country has lost all the essentials of life and abandoned its youth, and the citizen has become unable to buy one. loaf of bread and murder has become massive, asking: Isn’t it time for the Lebanese to enjoy peace and joy? “

He pointed out that “the government should have been formed in record time to save the miserable situation, but the private interests of the officials are more important than the interests of the citizens and the officials ignore the demands of the people and drug it with bids for the people’s money. while their pockets are bloated and they are blessing the town with food or finance cards. “

Odeh continued: “The constitution has become dependent on interests, and its interpretation has become discretionary, asking:” Are the impoverishment and hunger of the people intentional to control their decision? “
