Geagea accuses rival camp of 'lying about everything'

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea has accused the rival Hezbollah-led camp of “lying about everything.”

“The Axis of Defiance are ready to lie about everything. They claim that Christians do not agree on the same candidate, whereas Christians were in agreement on the same candidate, Jihad Azour, during the famous June 14, 2023 session,” Geagea said.

“Christians are still continuing their intersection over this candidate,” the LF leader added.

“They say that things need dialogue, but this is untrue. From the beginning of the presidential race until now, thousands of dialogues have taken place among the parliamentary blocs, and this is just an alibi to cover up for the obstruction of elections,” Geagea went on to say.

He added that the other camp is “blocking the presidential election for two reasons.”

“The first is its inability to secure a majority for its candidate. The second is awaiting the course of events in the region to know how to act inside the country accordingly, seeing as Lebanon ranks 17th on the list of their priorities,” Geagea explained.
