Rola Ibrahim wrote in the newspaper Al-Akhbar under the headline “Resigned MPs Join Pastor: Patriarch Leads the“ Revolution ”:“ Since Maronite Patriarch Bechara al-Rahi decided to join forces on March 14, the Diman was supported by political forces, individuals and clergy who would not have crossed the threshold of Bkerke a year ago. . Interests converged in a moment of exceptional collapse at all levels, so that the two parties took the closest path to ending their retirement: the sponsor withdrawn from the circle of political decision since the election of Michel Aoun as President of the Republic. , and the remnants of March 14 that were, in turn, expelled from their allies and foreign parties that have been supporting them. Al-Ra’i’s task was not difficult, but rather a proposal for a theory of neutrality that was not applicable in Switzerland or the West or the East, in addition to two fierce sermons in which the roof was raised against Hezbollah and the President of the Republic, for his opponents to make the pilgrimage to him. It is not necessary to recall here the statements of the Patriarch, which, although sometimes contradictory and divergent, often coincided with the positions of the forces of “March 8″ and elicited strong criticism from the opposing party, which led to the title of ” Patriarch of March 8 “to the pastor. This did not make Sayyid al-Sarh the leader of these forces, nor did it acclaim him to play the role of the late Maronite patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir. Perhaps, due to the failure of this attempt, al-Rahi fled two years ago towards Wasatiyya, the center of Michel Suleiman, Amin Gemayel and their companions … until the uprising of October 17 came. Soon, the Patriarch joined the “revolution” and his sermons began to ask for a response to the demands of the people, with his constant desire to protect the governor of the Banque du Liban Riad Salameh and the banking sector, the main reason for the financial collapse .
He added: The slogan attracted civic groups such as the Forum for Civil Influence, and political parties that today wear a dress of change, such as the Forces and Falange parties that announced their participation in the uprising from its first hours. Thus, al-Rahi sought, whether he knows it or not, to lead the October 17 uprising, whose most prominent political representatives, before the neutrality proposal, called for the separation of politics and economics from religion, and a commitment to Bkerke himself of neutrality.
From this point of view, the Patriarch invited the seven deputies who resigned from parliament (Paula Yaqoubian, Michel Moawad, Nehme Ephrem, Henry Helou, Sami Al-Jamil, Nadim Al-Jamil and Elias Hanakish) to a meeting held yesterday in Diman . The sponsor wants to increase its “civil” influence. The remnants of March 14 follow him in his new battle against Hezbollah. The troops and brigades support him. Even the Free Patriotic Movement does not come out rejecting their proposals ”. Read the full article Press here.
