Former Prime Minister Najib Mikati met Thursday with Maronite Patriarch Cardinal Beshara Boutros Rai in Bkerke, where he quoted him as saying that he feels deep sorrow over the current situation, slamming the politicians who are supposed to preserve the interests of the nation and the citizens, but instead they have been obstructing the work of the public institutions and destroying the country.
In this regard, Mikati stressed the importance of electing a new president as soon as possible in order to put an end to the deadlock.
