Charbel: Democracy exists despite security situation

Interior and Municipalities Minister Marwan Charbel said that the mayoral and municipal sub-elections taking place on Sunday prove that democracy still exist despite the current security situation overshadowing the country.              

During a tour on polling stations in the town of Qobayat, Charbel noted that in case any complaint against bribes or doubtful behavior was filed, it will be referred to the general prosecution.                

On the other hand, Charbel said that, if an electoral law similar to the existent one was approved, the parliamentary elections will not be postponed. However, he noted that if the hybrid law was approved, it will require more preparations, since it includes the proportional system which has not been adopted before in Lebanon, calling on the officials to agree on a new electoral law.     

Marwan reiterated from al Kahaleh town that he is not convinced in the 1960's law, stressing that the alternative would be in the agreement of MPs on a new electoral law.

In this context, Charbel considered that when all parties agree on one electoral law, they will seek to carry out just parliamentary elections          

Commenting on the situation at the borders, Charbel stressed that the Lebanese government and the Lebanese army are assuming their responsibilities within their capabilities and at the legal crossing points, pointing out that there are illegal crossing points which are being used.                    


“When a consensus is reached to self-distance Lebanon, as a government and a people, the situation will be better,” he added.
