Kataeb Party on Tuesday felicitated the Lebanese people on the realization of justice in the case of late Lebanese President, Bashir Gemayel.
"The historic verdict in the assassination of martyr President Bashir Gemayel has finally seen light after thirty-five years," a statement issued by Kataeb Party political bureau said in the wake of its weekly meeting.
Moreover, in its statement, the Party pushed the Lebanese state to swiftly implement the aforementioned verdict.
"Kataeb Party hopes that this ruling will be a prelude to uncovering all the facts that are related to the series of political assassinations to the Lebanese people," the statement added.
Also, Kataeb called on the authority to expedite the arrest and prosecution of the instigators and aggressors against Kataeb's bureau in Meniara of Akkar district.
"We will not be dragged into any reaction sought by the aggressors, the outsiders, and the suspects," the statement added in reference to a number of threats that had been launched against the Party in line with the issuance of late Gemayel's case verdict.
Touching on the country's economic scene, the Party voiced opposition to "the settlement that passed the budget of 2017 after the disbursement of expenses and ignoring the mandatory auditing of accounts as per Article 87 of the Constitution."
The Party's statement deemed the endorsement of the budget an explicit violation of the Constitution, and "a reflection of the performance of the political authority to initiate irregularities, evasion, and to reward tax evaders."
On another level, Kataeb sounded the alarm on the seriousness of the situation reached by the Syrian refugee dossier.
"The figures have shown that the financial cost of Syrian refugee presence in Lebanon has reached eighteen billion dollars and that refugees amount to forty percent of the Lebanese population," the statement added, urging the government to deal with this simmering issue as soon as possible.
