Report: Parolin proposed list of 5 presidential candidates
The Vatican’s Secretary of State Pietro Parolin proposed a list of five presidential candidates during his latest visit to Lebanon, a media report said.
“The candidates can be considered consensual and they enjoy the acceptance of all parties,” Kuwait’s al-Anbaa newspaper has reported.
Parolin discussed the list with “Christian leaders whom he met at the Papal Embassy in Harissa,” the daily added.
The list contained the names of Lebanese Ambassador to the Vatican and ex-MP Farid Elias al-Khazen, former ambassador to the Vatican and former army intelligence chief Brig. Gen. George Khoury and former minister Jean-Louis Cardahi, the newspaper said.
