In
a press conference, Kataeb Party Chief Amine Gemayel mentioned that the
Pope's message should not be restricted to the areas he visited; but
instead should "reverberate across Lebanon."
Gemayel said that
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's speech on Sunday evening aims at breaking the
tranquility created by the Pope's visit pointing out that in the current
situation, "demonstrations are intolerable."
"Who is able to
assure that these demonstration will remain peaceful?" Gemayel asked,
stressing that he condemns all attacks on religions.
Gemayel
saluted the Lebanese president who summoned the Iranian Ambassador
Ghazanfar Roknabadi to explain the presence of Iranian Revolutionary
Guards in Lebanon.
"Apt clarifications are asked from Iran so
that Lebanon can take appropriate measures," Gemayel added. "It's about
time to stop violating Lebanese territory and acting at the expense of
the country's national interest," he added.
As for the issue of
Syrian shelling on the Lebanese territory, Gemayel considered the manner
as unacceptable and called for taking necessary measures to put an end
to these violations.
Regarding the electoral law, Gemayel said:
"we want to achieve democracy in order to have fair representation for
all Lebanese parties and confessions". He also considered that the Free
Patriotic Movement has long derailed from the instructions of Bkerke.
