Suleiman: Sectarian Distribution of Power Impeding Rise of the State
President Michel Suleiman criticized on Saturday time wasted over disputes among political leaders, which he said is hindering the proper functioning of the state.
He said: “The political mentality which is based on sectarian distribution of power is impeding the rise of the state.”
He therefore called on all sides to “derive lessons from the developments taking place around us” in order to rectify the situation in Lebanon.
The president later held talks with the head of the Mustaqbal bloc MP Fouad Saniora.
Suleiman also met with Ministers Adnan Mansour, Marwan Charbel, Nicolas Nahhas, and Marwan Kheireddine ahead of his upcoming visit to Romania and the Czech Republic on Monday.
