Head of the “Lebanese Forces” Party, Samir Geagea, confirmed that “the solution to get out of the current situation is not economic, but rather political.”

He added: “All the economic crises we are witnessing are symptoms of the actual crisis, so all possible economic solutions cannot lead to any results unless the state regains its sovereignty, authority, and prestige, and a radical change occurs in the state’s administration.”

In this context, Geagea stressed that the entrance to the solution to these crises that we live is by the presidential elections.

The LF leader stressed that one of the characteristics of the next president is that he should not be from the other party or any figurehead candidate who cannot play the role of the actual president of the republic as it should be.

“The presidential battle is local, but there are those who insist on linking it to regional and international developments…,” he explained.

Geagea pointed out that “we are continuing to nominate Michel Moawad at the present time, but we are open to consulting with the opposition forces on any alternative name that has the required specifications.”

Geagea’s words came during the second annual closed meeting of the “Lebanese Forces” in Bsharri, held at the party’s headquarters in Maarab.
