Report: Shiite Duo not taking Jumblat's presidential initiative seriously
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat will meet with Speaker Nabih Berri in Ain el-Tineh on Tuesday, after Jumblat postponed a previously scheduled meeting for health reasons, al-Jadeed said.
The media outlet added that Amal and Hezbollah will not take Jumblat's presidential initiative seriously, according to sources close to the Shiite Duo.
Previous reports had said that Jumblat and the Shiite Duo are leading “strenuous attempts to break the presidential deadlock” and that Jumblat is “seeking to limit the nominations to two presidential candidates who can be promoted as settlement candidates".
"It is not possible to compare MP and presidential candidate Michel Mouawad to Marada chief Suleiman Franjieh," al-Jadeed quoted the sources as saying.
