Maronite archbishop of Beirut, Boulos Matar, received at his archdiocese in Ashrafieh, MP Henry Helou, who divulged his willingness to pursue his presidential campaign and communications deployed in said context.

“Lebanon needs a strong President, practiced in the art of negotiation and experienced in dialogue as the only means to reach stability, while not posing challenge to anyone,” Helou said, “I am a national candidate and a dialogue, moderation and openness contender, for I have clearly announced my bid against vacuum and the dangers it entails.” He added, calling for a Lebanon-made president.
