“Always to the sides of Lebanon”
“It is now essential that the aspirations expressed by the Lebanese in the areas of reform and governance are heard,” insisted Jean-Yves le Drian. “In these difficult moments of its history, France stands as it always has done, to the sides of Lebanon”, he added.
on Thursday, two days after the explosion, the French president Emmanuel Macron travelled to Beirut, where he called for “a new political order”. Before the explosion, the anger of the population was already because of a deep economic crisis that has shaken the country since the fall of 2019.
