In a recent meeting with Caretaker Minister of Interior and Municipalities Bassam Mawlawi, MP Sethrida Geagea highlighted pressing concerns surrounding the murder of Pascal Sleiman and the issue of Syrian displacement in Lebanon.
Geagea emphasized that Pascal Sleiman’s crime is political until proven otherwise and the investigation has not yet been completed. She also stressed that the Syrian presence is creating a major issue in Lebanon, and our economy and the country can no longer bear their presence.
Geagea said, “We discussed the murder of Pascal Sleiman and the issue of the displaced Syrians, and a large part of those Syrians are present in Lebanon illegally.”
Drawing attention to the specific situation in Bcharre, Geagea noted that it has the lowest number of Syrian refugees in the district. She urged Minister Mawlawi to extend the decrees implemented in Bcharre to all mayors in order to facilitate the return of displaced Syrians to safe areas in their homeland.
