**"Divisiveness Increases Crises"**
The head of the "Lebanese Democratic Party," Talal Arslan, considered that "the regime and the state are taking their last breaths, and in our view, there is no solution except for a rapid intervention to rebuild the state on inclusive civil national foundations."
Arslan noted in a statement today that "the division among the Lebanese is significantly increasing and suspicious... Economic, financial, and social crises are affecting the entire Lebanese society without accountability... Hunger has started to ravage our families from the far north to the far south without any action... Have we become part of a society that does not deserve life and does not deserve a unified national identity? ... Arslan added in his statement, 'We have said and repeat that we are in a regime and a state that are taking their last breaths, and in our view, there is no solution except for a quick intervention to rebuild the state on inclusive civil national foundations that lift the burdens of sectarian, religious, and racial divisions in favor of enhancing the spirit of true citizenship, based on the unity of standards in rights and duties among all citizens... on new foundations in all constitutional and non-constitutional institutions, whether judicial, legislative, executive, procedural, or media.'"
Arslan called for "a swift, serious, and imminent dialogue to discuss the real weaknesses in managing our country, and to proceed together along the path of forensic auditing so that the Lebanese know where their money and savings have gone, which is a natural right for the people to know without deceit or manipulation, and without diverting the problem to other places that do not befit us as Lebanese... If we do not take these steps quickly, Lebanon will enter the unknown, and we will not know how our situation will end, or what exorbitant cost we will have to pay sooner or later..."
