Geagea Denies Baabda Palace Rebuke
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea denied that he had received a phone call from Baabda palace admonishing him for a stance that he had made lately.
In remarks to An Nahar daily from southern France, where he is vacationing with his wife, Geagea said that such a phone conversation did not take place.
In response to a question that he rejected to attend a dinner banquet that President Michel Suleiman threw in Amsheet on Saturday, the LF leader denied that he wasn’t there over the alleged phone conversation.
The dinner was a social event and it wasn’t necessary that he sends a delegate, he said.
Geagea’s remarks came a day after media reports said that the LF chief was upset after Suleiman rebuked him over a verbal attack on Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun and the presidency.
