The Presidency Press Office responded to statements of former Prime Ministers, saying that it is truly unfortunate that the President of the Republic is accused of the Port explosion, when he puts himself at the disposal of the judicial investigator for his testimony to be heard.
“Justice is not compromised by any constitutional position if exercised by the competent authority. Lebanon has suffered and continues to suffer from sectarian red lines,” the Presidency added.
“The President never took the initiative to agitate sectarian accounts, in the course of judicial prosecutions”.
“Dangerous talks in the statement of former Prime Ministers, about “Disguised justice” and “Politicized judiciary” is an insult and an unacceptable and disgraceful weakening of the judicial authority”.
“The timing of this statement is suspicious, while the President is exerting efforts to form a government to address the severe sufferings of the Lebanese people”.
“The Presidency of the Republic continues to address the deficiencies and the focused scrutiny in BDL accounts, and other state facilities, to determine losses and accountability”.
