The party should set an example to all people and parties, he declared to applause by the gatherers.

“The Phalange party will be open to cooperating with all rival parties, while still adhering to its values,” the MP said.

“These dealings and dialogues will be based on mutual respect, honesty, and truth,” he said.

“The Phalange is open to all Lebanese from all over Lebanon and regardless of their sect. It is open to all youths who seek Lebanon’s interests,” he stated.

“The party should lead the wave that rejects corruption and linking Lebanon to regional conflicts,” he said.

“It is a Lebanese party, which is made in Lebanon, and which adopts a Lebanese agenda,” he stressed.

“We will not place the interests of individuals above the interests of Lebanon,” Gemayel added.

“It should lead a revolt against the current fragmentation of the state. The party should once again rise to the forefront in Lebanon,” he stated.

The Phalange’s new project will not be based on relying on foreign powers, he said.

“We have had long experience with relying on foreign powers. Those who are doing so today will be proven wrong,” he stated.

Sami’s father, who has been leading the party since February 2008 announced last May that he will not be running for a new term .
