Al-Rahi and Audeh Support Fair Electoral Law that Preserves Coexistence
Written by Najib

 

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi and Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Beirut Elias Audeh have expressed support to a parliamentary draft-law that preserves coexistence. “Bkirki is neither with an Orthodox proposal nor with a Maronite proposal,” al-Liwaa daily quoted al-Rahi as saying on Friday. The Maronite church “only supports a Lebanese proposal,” he said.

Audeh also told al-Liwaa that he wouldn't back any draft-law that doesn't preserve coexistence among the Lebanese. Al-Mustaqbal daily quoted sources close to Audeh as saying that the Orthodox sect does not accept the proposal for deepening divisions among the confessions. [Link]
