Deputy Nadim Gemayel emphasized via the "X" platform that "on May 7, 2008, sovereignty was violated and fell into the hands of Hezbollah." He stated: "On May 7, all of Lebanon, along with its institutions and apparatuses, fell under the control of weapons, and the state remains at the mercy of a mini-state to this day." He added: "Lebanese people, especially the youth, must choose today between the state and the aberrations... between dignity and humiliation... between freedom and subservience... between confrontation and surrender." Gemayel concluded: "Lebanon has completely collapsed and will only rise by liberating itself from the grip of Iran and the terror of its militias. 1559."
