BEIRUT: Christian parties in Lebanon called for the collective resignation of Parliament on Wednesday, accusing Hezbollah of dominating the country.
The head of the Independence Movement, Michel Moawad, a former MP and son of former President Rene Moawad, said at a press conference: “With each passing day, we are more convinced that we are dealing with a criminal, corrupt and conspiratorial authority.

Moawad, who resigned from Parliament following the Beirut Port explosion on Aug. 4, noted that “retaking the state from the mafia and the militia happens through the restoration of sovereignty over all our borders and regaining control over the decision making.

He said in a statement after his meeting with the Pope in the Vatican, “We have spoken about all Lebanon’s problems, and they know those who obstruct and those who do not obstruct and there will be visits from the Vatican to Lebanon to solve matters.”
He added, “To His Holiness, Pope Francis, I explained the problems we are suffering from and asked for Lebanon’s assistance, as he views the Lebanese as one body and a message from which moderation and coexistence emerge.”
