Rai: Lebanon needs to be freed from liars who take advantage of people kindness

2^min

Maronite Patriarch Bechara Rai presided on Sunday over the mass at the Patriarchate's summer seat in Diman.

During his Sunday’s sermon, Rai noted that the country needs to be freed from liars who take advantage of the people’s kindness with sweet talk while they are corrupt, looting state money, and evading taxes, which led to the state’s collapse and the people suffering from poverty.

On another note, he stressed that Lebanon’s Arab and International friends are waiting for a commitment in a clear policy and a straight performance in order to participate in its economic and financial renaissance.

"We cannot pretend to be preserving sovereignty while keeping the border crossings wide open, and we cannot support legitimacy while accepting the multiplicity of weapons and the contempt of institutions," Rai said.

We cannot accept "the creation of an army belonging to a foreign state, as a top official of that state has confessed," Rai added.
