Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat praised on Friday the interview given by Marada Movement leader MP Suleiman Franjieh, deeming his remarks as “realistic.”
He said via Twitter: “His interview was frank and steered away from the empty political slogans of some officials.”
He also lauded Franjieh's “practical approach” on various issues.
“The joining of opposing forces in obstructing the presidential elections is harming Lebanon's stability, institutions, and economy,” he added.
Franjieh gave a much anticipated television interview on Thursday during which he announced his candidacy for the presidency.
He addressed a number of issues, most notably ties with his ally in the March 8 camp, Change and Reform bloc chief MP Michel Aoun, who is also a presidential candidate.
