| [An Nahar] Phalange party The Kataeb (Phalange) party was founded by Pierre Gemayel in 1936, who modeled the party after Spanish and Italian Fascist parties he had observed as an Olympic athlete during the 1936 Summer Olympics held in Berlin, then Nazi Germany. The movement's uniforms originally included brown shirts and members used the Nazi salute. Despite the party's uniform, its strong sense of nationalism and dedication to a single charismatic leader, the Lebanese Kataeb was not and never became a fascist party nor did it espouse a totalitarian ideology. leader on Sunday said Leb does not need another Taif or Doha agreements "but a ruling" on who killed politicians. "We are not in need of another Taif or Doha. We need a ruling first on who killed our martyrs," Gemayel said after a mass memorial marking the fourth anniversary of the liquidation of his son, former Industry Minister Pierre Gemayel. The mass for Gemayel and his bodyguard Samir Shartouni took place at St. Anthony Church in Jdeideh. "We will not rest until justice is achieved. We want the truth because we reject false testimonies. We want the Tribunal because we seek stability," he stressed. "Loyalty to Pierre is achieved through commitment to the party's goal of serving Leb well." |
