President of the Republic, Michel Aoun, met on Friday at Baabda Presidential Palace with Elias Aoun, head of Lebanese Press Editor heading a delegation.
“In case of failure to achieve a new electoral law that represents all the Lebanese segments there won’t be justice and we won’t enjoy political stability in the country,” Aoun told his visitors.
The President called on the Lebanese politicians to adopt the unified standard in any law, pointing out that he might resort to referendum in case of failure to achieve a new electoral law.
On the other hand, Aoun said “the written press crisis is a world crisis,” confirming continuous efforts to resolve this crisis.
The President described his relation with Prime Minister, Saad Hariri as “excellent”, stressing “I will be a father to all the Lebanese and I will take into consideration the interests of all the sects without exception.”
Separately, Aoun met the French Deputy Gerard Bapt, in the presence of Deputy Simon Abi Ramya with talks featuring high on the situation in Lebanon and the region.
Later, Aoun met with a delegation of Majed Al Futtaim Company.
In light of the aggravating crisis of refugees that has been burdening Lebanon and its economy since the war erupted in Syria, President Michel Aoun urged the international community to facilitate the return of refugees to safe zones in their homeland.
“The International community must facilitate the return of displaced Syrians back to their homeland,” Aoun told UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi in a meeting at Baabda Palace.
