The Presidency Press Office issued the following statement:

“Media outlets and websites are reporting news, on the Central News Agency stating that President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, will send a message to the Parliament to “remove procuration” from the Prime Minister designate, Saad Hariri, “Due to his failure to form the government etc..

The Presidency Press Office denies this news, since it includes fabricated and unfounded data which certain media outlets deliberately promote despite the repeated calls by the Media Office to stop leaking such lies and refer to it in everything related to news of the President and his stances”.
