Opposition Members in Paris to Agree with Hariri on Next Steps
Several opposition officials have traveled to Paris to discuss with former Premier Saad Hariri the approach that the March 14 forces would take after the formation of PM Najib Miqati’s cabinet.
An Nahar daily said that among the March 14 politicians who went to France are Phalange party leader Amin Gemayel, MP Marwan Hamadeh and former lawmakers Fares Soaid, Samir Franjieh and Bassem al-Sabaa.
Gemayel traveled alone while the other four officials went together on the same plane, the newspaper said.
The conferees will discuss their next step after the formation of the new government and the latest incidents in Tripoli and other regional developments, it added.
The meetings in Paris would be accompanied by talks that opposition members would hold in Beirut. They are expected to make stances on the Tripoli clashes, An Nahar said.
MP Butros Harb confirmed to Voice of Lebanon radio station (100.5) that March 14 leaderships traveled to Paris to meet Hariri, who is there for security reasons.
“Meetings are being held away from the media spotlight to set plans for the next stage,” he said.
