Report: Le Drian discussed 'centrist' candidates with Lebanese leaders
France's special envoy for Lebanon who arrived in Beirut on Wednesday on a "consultative" mission has discussed with Lebanese leaders names of centrist presidential candidates, Nidaa-al Watan said.
The daily reported Friday that Jean-Yves Le Drian has discussed with those he met possible solutions to the impasse, as he asked them if they consider that a centrist candidate might be a solution. Le Drian also asked whether certain presidential candidates are considered centrist, the daily said.
The report added that the Shiite Duo has said that France is still working on a "comprehensive solution" and has not yet dropped Marada leader Suleiman Franjieh's nomination.
