Geagea: I no longer expect anything from France

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea no longer expects anything from France or the U.S.

In an interview with French weekly news magazine Valeurs actuelles, Geagea said that France supported Hezbollah's presidential candidate, which he finds "unacceptable."

"From an emotional point of view, I always expect something from France but from a practical point of view, I don't."

Geagea told the French magazine, quoting a British journalist, that France has always practiced a "let it be" policy in Lebanon. "France only listens to the balance of power," he said. "When it came to the Syrians, France (said) let it be. When it came to Hezbollah, France (said) let it be, even though supporting Hezbollah's candidate was against Lebanon's sovereignty, reforms and institutions."

As for the U.S, Geagea considered that Lebanon is not in its priorities.
