NNA - Caretaker Tourism Minister, Fadi Abboud, said on Wednesday that "consultations with Bkirki on the Presidency elections are vital and basic as Maronite Patriarch Beshara Rai is the spiritual father to all the Lebanese."
The minister added that consultations with Bkirki did not mean intervention in political affairs, stressing that "Bkirki's blessing is obligatory to all."
He told the "Voice of Lebanon" radio that there were attempts not to hold presidential elections.
