House Speaker, Nabih Berri, on Monday wished that the political action in Lebanon would resemble and be similar to the cultural movement in its purity and its distance from the confessional and sectarian afflicti, whose risks on the Lebanese entity are undoubtedly existential.

Speaker Berri’s fresh words came during his meeting at the Second Presidency in Ain El-Tineh with the head of the cultural movement in Lebanon, Poet Bassem Abbas, and the new members of the Movement’s administrative board.

Berri indicated that, “the fate and destiny of any country in which constitutions and laws are not applied will inevitably be collapse after collapse,” adding, “There is no escape, no salvation, no rescue, and no protection for Lebanon except by adhering to the rules of the constitution, the law and the civil state.”

Separately, Berri received Minister of Youth and Sports, Georges Kallas, with whom he discussed the current general situation in the country.

On the other hand, Berri cabled Bulgarian House Speaker, Nikola Minchev, congratulating him on his election as Bulgarian Speaker.
