Abu Faour: Any new president who will come must have Arab adoption

A member of the Democratic Gathering bloc, Representative Wael Abu Faour, confirmed that the Progressive Socialist Party is ready to consider the nomination of any figure for the presidency of the republic who meets the conditions of Arab adoption and is approved by the Christian blocs and does not represent a challenge to anyone.

In an interview on Al-Jadeed channel, today, Sunday, Abu Faour revealed that the Socialist Party had not been informed of any new position from Saudi Arabia, neither negative nor positive, regarding the Lebanese presidential file, explaining that all countries deal with the Lebanese file, and any president who will come must receive Arab adoption, and he added: We are on the same path. Constant contact with France and Saudi Arabia, and we stress the necessity of electing an inclusive and conciliatory president, but unfortunately each party wants a president who meets its interests.

Abu Faour pointed out that Socialist President Walid Jumblatt stopped offering names for the presidency because the matter has become useless, considering that “there is selfishness among some political forces towards offering names, and he said: I call for humility in the demands to reach a settlement, and the idea of Lebanonization of presidential elections does not exist and does not exist.” Movement and internal debate.

In another context, Abu Faour called for not dealing with the Syrian displacement file with this tension that is taking place today, stressing the need not to politicize the file, and added: The Syrian displacement is political, not security, and we do not have a plan to return the displaced to their country.
