NNA – MP Ghassan Skaf considered in a radio interview todaynbsp;that quot;the French envoy, Jean-Yves Le Drian, may have failed in his mission before it began, through the message that was sent to the parliamentary blocs, because he did not work according to the rule of neither victorious nor vanquished…quot;

Skaf considered that quot;the message is rejected in form and content because it contradictsnbsp; with national sovereignty,quot; noting that quot;it was rejected by significant blocs, most of them Christians, because they felt that France no longer cared for them and deepened the rift between them.quot;

Touching on the presidential dossier, the MP considered that quot;the specifications will not lead to a president for the republic, but rather the circumstances that will fulfill this merit,quot; noting that quot;the characteristics of the future president were mentioned in the joint meeting in Doha, and the lack of internal cohesion between the Lebanese has rendered the election of the president in the pocket of the regional and international player.quot;

Skaf added that quot;a president elected without the approval of the other party will not be able to rule.quot;

Referring to the issue of quot;federalismquot;, the MP deemed it quot;a leap into the unknown,quot; underlining that quot;what is required is to strengthen internal unity,quot; hoping that quot;Le Drian would carry a reform project aimed at that, because Lebanon is in a stage of disintegration of the state and the collapse of institutions.quot;
