Jumblatt also said that he believes that political sectarianism is the main “flaw” of Lebanon’s political system, adding that “until political sectarianism is abolished, consensus democracy is the best way forward.”
He stressed that the gradual elimination of sectarianism in key positions allows minorities, whether Muslim or Christian, to play a role in Lebanon’s politics.
On Monday, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said abolishment of political sectarianism was the "basic condition" for the establishment of a true democracy in which the majority rules and the minority opposes.
"Political sectarianism is blocking the development of the Lebanese political regime and standing as an obstacle in the face of a democracy where the majority rules and the minority opposes," Sayyed Nasrallah said while reading his party's new manifesto.
Speaker Nabih Berri's recent proposal to put an end to political sectarianism has drawn a huge debate among the country's factions.
