Caretaker Minister of Youth and Sports, George Kallas, called for “a national initiative for dialogue, understanding, reconciliation, frankness and devotion under the dome of Parliament, the only constitutional institution in the world in which Christians and Muslims have equal seats.” Kallas wondered in a statement: ‘What would be the essence of Lebanon of dialogue, integration, and peaceful living between sects, that a president be elected without a qualitative participation vote from all constituencies of the homeland?” He deemed that there is an exceptional responsibility in such a critical circumstance that necessitates wisdom, political rationality and national realism. “The initiative for dialogue, convergence and kindness is a considerable audacity and an appreciated step that Lebanon deserves,” Kallas asserted. “Lebanon’s young women and men await your initiative and believe in your wisdom, do not let them down,” he concluded.
