The former head of the Progressive Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, criticized the approach of those he described as the “FIFA kings,” calling for efforts to be focused on restoring and repairing the Camille Chamoun Sports City, in a way that reflects respect for Beirut’s history and heritage as the capital of Lebanon.
In his post on the “X” platform, Jumblatt used a linguistic manipulation with the word “gang,” explaining that it is applied to what is tied around the head or the crown that is placed on it, and indicating that it would be better for the officials of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) to limit their interventions to rehabilitating the aforementioned sports facility.
Jumblatt accompanied his post with a picture of an abstract artistic painting of a cubist nature, which embodies two human faces overlapping in multiple colors, with a prominent eye in the middle at the heart of the artistic composition.
