My Nationality is a Right for Me and My Family Campaign warns against exploitation of citizenship issue

In a follow up of the issue on rights of women to grant nationality to their family members, L’Orient Le Jour published a special feature after the July 24 statement by My Nationality is A Right For Me And My Family Campaign on behind-the-scene naturalization attempts (c.f: https://bit.ly/2v8heBU) and allegations by certain parties that their action is a mere precautionary measure. My Nationality is a Rght for Me and My Family Campaign coordinator, Karima Chebbo, reiterated that the ministry of interior is the sole competent authority to regulate nationality matters, warning that above bids encourage individual requests. Chebbo also sustained My Nationality Campaign’s stance against any projected preferential nationality decree which supports certain beneficiaries exclusively, underlining the need to apply the law clear of narrow sectarian partialities. She pointed to unofficial parties urging applicants to apply for nationality in exchange for money. She disclosed that the Campaign was present at the discussion of the draft bill adopted by MPs Rula Tabsh, Paula Yacubian and Inaya Ezzedine, and supported by Amal Movement, Future Movement and the PSP. Chebbo concluded by stating that My Nationality Campaign plans to visit a number of political parties, like the LF and Hizbullah to brief them on the proposal. (L’Orient Le Jour, August 2, 2018)
