Maronite Patriarch Cardinal Mar Bechara Boutros Rahi pointed out that ‘the root of our political crisis lies in violating the Constitution, which is sacred and untouchable worldwide’ asking: ‘How is it be possible to keep violating the Constitution without electing a president? And electing a president restores confidence in Lebanon and its institutions.”

Patriarch Rahi added, in his Sunday sermon in Bkerke: ‘We stand united with the mothers of the August 4th explosion victims, demanding justice, and this cause will not be forgotten, nor will their demands fade away.
