MP Hadi Aboul Hosn met on Friday with Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea in Meerab at the request of former Progressive Socialist Party (PSP) leader, Walid Joumblatt.
In an interview with This is Beirut, Aboul Hosn said that this visit was part of “ongoing communication with all political parties and in particular with the Lebanese Forces since the Mountain Reconciliation” (August 2001), sealed by Walid Joumblatt and former Maronite Patriarch, Nasrallah Sfeir.
It was prompted by a minor tension that arose on social media between residents of Upper Metn. “We want to maintain the best relations in Upper Metn and its villages,” said Aboul Hosn. He explained that “posts exchanged on social media by supporters of both sides have worried the base of both political parties.”
The MP said he was “reassured because of appeasement publications that appeared on these same pages,” just after his meeting with Geagea.
