Marada Movement chief Suleiman Franjieh told reporters after his meeting with Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil on Wednesday that he is carrying on with his presidential nomination, a media report said on Thursday.

“Should there be consensus on someone else, he will resort to the 51 MPs who voted for him in the latest electoral session,” the PSP’s al-Anbaa news portal reported, citing Franjieh’s remarks to the reporters.

“He added that Bassil promised him to cooperate with him should he be elected president,” al-Anbaa added.

Frangieh when he was minister of interior had the picture of Assad at the airport and many other places welcoming every visitor and expat. Aoun preferred the pictures of Nasralah and suleimani all over the airport road and many other places. Which picture would Bassil select to welcome visitors considering he is a creation and Useful Idiot of both Assad and Hizbollah?

The airport road is through Dahiyeh, if you don't like it tell the phalangists to remove pictures of Geagea and Gemayel in Zahle and Achrafieh and tell the residents of Tripoli to remove posters Hariri and Mikati.

Bassil and political mafia (Duo, FPM, Frangieh, etc) have perfected corruption and wasted $24 Billion of Central Bank reserve since 2019. $24 billion could have solved many problems & employed and documented Syrian labor for taxing and temporary residence as in Gulf countries. Power can be 100% from renewable with $10 billion (see Masdar & WDRVM & Hydro). Two new modern airports for $3 billion. Upgrade Beirut & Tripoli ports for $2 billion. Monorail from Tripoli to Tyr for $3 billion (see 100 Km Bombardier Monorail in Eqypt for $3B). Two tunnels linking ports to Bekaa & Akar for $1 billion (purchase TBM for cheaper future tunnels). Road network upgrade for $1 billion. Giga fiber optic with new cables to Cyprus/Europe for $1 billion. Tourism boost by investing in world-class museums, artificial island/port for cruise ship, ski lifts & nature stops for $1 Billion. Modern fishery for $1 billion… Not to mention $50 billion stolen by FPM & its cronies from EDL leaving darkness.
