Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, regretted Saturday "the dropping of political discourse, as we approach the date of the parliamentary elections, to levels that neither serve Lebanon nor its unity and image before the world."
Berri's words came during a meeting with Al-Ghaziyeh Youth Football Club delegation, who visited him earlier today as they qualified for the Lebanese Forefront Football Teams.
The Parliament Speaker stressed that "the Lebanese youth remain the hope for Lebanon's future, and its bright and shinning image." He deemed that sports of all kinds have preserved their humanitarian aspect away from sects and sectarianism, despite the climates of political division witnessed in the country.
"It is desirable that politicians today approach the elections with the same spirit of sportsmanship...but unfortunately, the closer we get to the date of May 6, the more the political discourse falls to levels that do not serve Lebanon and its unity and image across the world," Berri underscored.
