Former head of the Progressive Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, met at his Clemenceau residence on Wednesday with French presidential envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian, in the presence of MPs Taymour Jumblatt and Wael Abu Faour. Talks touched on the latest political developments. “The Lebanese Forces party always has a viewpoint that is different from ours; we prefer the viewpoint of House Speaker Nabih Berri and Le Drian that is based on dialogue,” said Jumblatt following the meeting. In response to a question about whether the PSP has been informed of the dialogue session date, Jumblatt said: “We haven’t been informed of anything; all in good time.” Asked whether Le Drian backs Marada Movement leader for the presidency of the republic, Jumblatt said that talks did not touch on names. “Some local sides do not want a solution,” he charged.
