Berri: France not denying support for Franjieh, awaiting Saudi response
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri considered that France was just softening its stance, when it said in a statement that it doesn't support any presidential candidate.
"The statement does not necessarily deny" France's support to Marada leader Suleiman Franjieh, Berri told al-Akhbar, in remarks published Thursday.
"We are awaiting the Saudi response to the Franjieh-Durel meeting," he said, adding that "it is unfortunate that foreign forces are working on the presidential file, and not us."
"Unfortunately, I can only see negativity now," Berri said.

You might want to look yourself in the mirror. It's you and you only who has forced foreign forces to interfere. Had your stupid Development & Liberation group (not sure what your liberating) and your fanatic rivals The Hizbos not walked out and had you kept the parliament open and have your candidate declare instead of waiting to secure the votes and then declare.
