Mikati Responds to Bassil: Only Appreciates Sectarian Language

The media office of Prime Minister Najib Mikati replied to the statement made by MP Jebran Bassil with the following: The remarks of the head of the "Free Patriotic Movement," MP Jebran Bassil, did not surprise the Prime Minister, who believes that Mr. Bassil only enjoys this type of discourse that is entirely detached from national, political, and ethical behaviors, and he only appreciates the repugnant sectarian language and distortion of facts. In any case, the Prime Minister emphasizes that what Mr. Bassil said does not merit an intellectual descent towards him. Clarification was necessary.
