We do not want a settlements president,” said Maronite Patriarch, Cardinal Beshara Boutros Rahi, this Sunday from Bkerki, adding that “the Maronite Patriarchate does not distribute its support to specific candidates, contrary to what is being promoted by some.”

“The time has come to reveal the features of the candidate for the presidency, and to impose himself with his personality, experience and solidity,” the Patriarch went on.

Finally, Rahi demanded that the deputies elect a president in the upcoming October 13 session, and then form the government.
