Maronite Patriarch Beshara Boutros Rai stressed Friday that “there is no need for the debate over the seniority decree, which does not have any financial results,” adding that the defense minister is the one concerned with signing it and the interior minister perhaps.
Following his meeting with President Michel Aoun at Baabda palace, Rai said that “the parliamentary elections are drawing near,” hoping that these suggestions to amend the law are not excuses to delay or prevent the elections.
