LF tells Le Drian it won't attend dialogue before president election

The Lebanese Forces has informed French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian that it will not attend any dialogue conference prior to the election of a new president, LF lawmaker Ghada Ayoub said.

“The Strong Republic bloc’s specifications for the president and his missions are clear and in line with the Doha meeting’s closing statement,” Ayoub said in an interview on Radio Free Lebanon.

“Parliament should perform its role and dialogue must take place in the (electoral) sessions,” the MP added.

Le Drian is expected to arrive today, Monday in Beirut to meet with the Lebanese parties over the presidential file. He will start his meetings on Tuesday according to media reports.
