Former President Amine Gemayel voiced concern over the current situation in Lebanon, deploring the quasi-obstructed state institutions, the worrisome economy, the missing development and the incomplete sovereignty.
"Despite all that, we are still counting on the will of the Lebanese who still believe in their country and are eager to live in freedom and dignity," Gemayel said upon arriving in Melbourne as part of his Australia tour.
Gemayel stressed the need for a strict and practical policy to curb corruption, saying that it must be steered clear of populism.
"Corruption is eating the State off to the point of bankruptcy," he warned. "The State institutions need rationalism and transparency."
Gemayel was received in Melbourne by the consul of Lebanon in Victoria, Dr. Ziad Itani, along with Kataeb partisans and representatives of different Lebanese political parties.
