The Presidency Press Office issued the following statement:
“Media websites published today, fabricated and false news which was distributed in a programmed, coordinated and intended manner. Fake news stated that the Presidential Palace is “pressuring” on the national Litani River Corporation to be fed with electric current from the Bsalim powerline, etc.…
The Press Office emphasizes that this news is false and baseless, since the Presidential Palace is subject to a normal electric current, just like all other institutions and houses. During electric outage and rationing, Baabda Palace uses its own generators”.
