Franjieh has 'vision' for political stability, economic salvation

W460

The presidential nomination of Marada Movement chief Suleiman Franjieh is not aimed at “experimenting,” MP Tony Franjieh said, hours after Hezbollah openly endorsed his father’s candidacy.

“He represents a serious choice for the presidency, seeing as he gathers between his firm political principles and his openness to all domestic and foreign forces,” the young Franjieh said in an interview with al-Joumhouria newspaper.

“We are not fighting the battle of a person; we rather have a complete project that we aspire to implement through Suleiman Franjieh’s election as president,” the lawmaker added.

He also said that, if elected, his father would carry to Baabda “an integrated vision for achieving political stability and economic salvation.”

In fact Sleiman Frangieh will never be elected president. Not even Hizbollah wants him because Aoun bankrupting and isolating Lebanon has hurt its base, that will hurt even more under Frangieh and may risk rebellion against Basij as Iraq's Sudani. Hizb only cares about protecting its arms being essentially Iran's Foreign Legion. It wants others to share in power and be blamed for the economic disaster Suleimani's kiss of death has caused for so many countries. A delicate dance while fully controlling Lebanon and all its institutions, pretending to be tolerant of others. Frangieh does not fit this game and he is only a bargaining chip to insure it protects its arms and control whoever is elected. So no president anytime soon.

The funniest thing of all this is he himself has still up to this moment has not declared his candidacy. Oh wait he said he only will do so when he has enough votes. Ok Got it. Lebanese democracy at it's best.
