Naji Hayek on Christian Representation in Government
The article discusses the decline of Christian representation in government positions in Lebanon. Statistics reveal that Christian presence decreased from 42.5% in 1990 to 26.5% in 2008, then improved to 34.8% in 2019 thanks to political efforts. However, a new decline is currently underway, with no Christians among 106 new staff at Beirut Government Hospital, and only three Christians out of 54 apprentice accountants in public administrations. Naji Hayek, spokesperson for the Free Patriotic Movement, affirmed that Christian rights are not a favor but a legitimate demand, calling for genuine participation in the state based on partnership and equal opportunities. He emphasized that true defense of the community's rights does not lie in sectarian accusations but in confronting assaults. The article highlights the need to defend Christian rights and reject threats that aim to diminish their representation in public institutions.
