said MP Sami Gemayel during his meeting with the Lebanese community at Deir Mar Antonios in Montreal, Canada.

Gemayel said in Lebanon they have invented a new concept of democracy , which they call the” consensus democracy “ . This means that the results of the elections are null and void because the winning majority has to negotiate with the losing minority its demands for key ministerial post in a new cabinet . He said what we are witnessing in Lebanon is a complete confusion over the building of a state and its institutions

Gemayel told the Lebanese community that” no party should take advantage of the freedom and democracy of Lebanon to impose a system of fear and intimidation that the Lebanese completely reject “. This is in reference to the Iranian and Syrian backed Hezbollah organization , which is the only armed group in Lebanon.

Hezbollah claims that its arms are for protecting Lebanon against Israel but in May 2008 Hezbollah it used its arms against the Lebanese people when it occupied the Sunni part of the capital Beirut and unsuccessfully tried to occupy the Druze strongholds of Mount Lebanon
