Maronite Patriarch, Mar Bechara Boutros Rahi received a delegation from the Change Movement’s political council, led by lawyer Elie Mahfoud, at Bkerke, where they submitted a judicial complaint over insults targeting the patriarch.
After the meeting, Mahfoud said Lebanon faces a deliberate weakening of state institutions, blaming Hezbollah for imposing a logic outside the state. He said the legal action marks the start of accountability and called on authorities to fully exercise their powers.
Mahfoud urged national unity and respect for institutions, warning against continued erosion of the state and affirming coexistence among all Lebanese communities.
