Harb says president should not be appointed outside of the parliament

Telecommunications Minister Boutros Harb stated Monday that the team opposed to the election of Head of the Change and Reform bloc MP Michel Aoun will try to support a real electoral battle between presidential candidates, "because the problem is that someone prevented the country from having a president, and this particular person is a candidate," emphasizing the right to freedom of expression in the ballot box.

 

Harb said during a morning talk show on Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5) that the president should not be appointed by an agreement outside of the parliament. He added that MPs against Michel Aoun will vote for Marada leader Sleiman Frangieh or will cast blank ballots, stating that he personally prefers to support a candidate in order to have an effective electoral battle.

 

Harb also said that it is a problem if a new era begins without having either an opposition group or a pro-government group, a situation that has led to corruption within the Lebanese state and institutions in the past.
