While President Emmanuel Macron went to Beirut on Thursday, devastated by the double explosion on Tuesday evening, PS deputy Boris Vallaud said that same day on Europe 1 that France had to be demanding vis-à-vis the Lebanese government, which has so far not reformed the country. 

INTERVIEW

Traveling to Beirut after the disaster on Tuesday evening in the capital, President Emmanuel Macron called on Lebanese politicians to initiate reforms to get Lebanon out of the crisis. Invited that same day on Europe 1, Boris Vallaud, deputy and vice-president of the Franco-Lebanese friendship group in the National Assembly, adopted a line similar to that of the president, without giving him clear support. "We must be demanding with the Lebanese government, even in certain respects, hard", assured Boris Vallaud.
