Mashnouq, Aoun Discuss ISF Vacancies

Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq said on Friday that he discussed with Free Patriotic Movement founder MP Michel Aoun the vacancies in the leadership of the Internal Security Forces.

“I discussed with Aoun filling vacancies in the leadership of the ISF,” al-Mashnouq said after meeting the Change and Reform bloc leader in Rabieh.

“It is possible to agree with him,” he said.

“Aoun is aware of the problems (that the country is suffering from) and has a vision on the work of the government,” al-Mashnouq stated.

He said there is no reason to delay the municipal elections.

“It is the right of every Lebanese to express his opinion,” the minister told reporters.

Preliminary voter lists for the municipal elections, scheduled for May, were released earlier this week.

Al-Mashnouq also expressed optimism on the election of a president this year.

Baabda Palace has been vacant since the term of President Michel Suleiman ended in May 2014.
