SKAF AFTER MEETING WITH BASSIL: ONLY SERIOUS INTERNAL MOVES WILL CURB ANY EXTERNAL EFFORT TO IMPOSE A PRESIDENT

Free Patriotic Movement Chief, MP Gebran Bassil, met today with MP Ghassan Skaf at his residence, during which talks touched on the general situation in the country and the presidential elections dossier. Following the meeting, Skaf considered that ‘the outside moves are due to internal stagnation and the feeling of regional and international states’ of officials’ indifference to the suffering of citizens and their distraction with personal matters.’ He added, ‘Today we are witnessing a decline in the level of external interference in favor of the Lebaneseization of the presidential entitlement, in wake of the actual internal movement we have begun…” Skaff continued: “Based on the positive and open atmosphere that I sensed with Minister Basil, I sincerely address all the other parties, especially those who are contributing, with or without knowledge, to obstructing the accomplishment of the presidential election by softening positions, easing conditions, and showing a little humility and a lot of responsibility.”
