'Lebanon not a colony': French senator slams France 'interference' in presidential file

French senator Nathalie Goulet slammed the French policy in Lebanon and Africa, as she criticized the French interference in the Lebanese affairs.

Goulet sarcastically described French envoy Jean Yves Le Drian as "spirited" and criticized him for sending questions to the Lebanese MPs, through the French embassy, about the required qualifications of their future president.

"No but seriously!" Goulet exclaimed Thursday on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter.

"Lebanon is not a colony," she went on to say, accusing France of interfering in the crisis-hit country affairs.

"This is an insult to the Lebanese," the French senator charged.
