Macron began his visit to Beirut by meeting Fayrouz, one of the most famous singers in the Arab world, and her voice is considered a soundtrack to Lebanon from its heyday, through its struggles, and even the most recent shock it suffered.
Macron described Fairouz as "Very beautiful and powerful", And said: "I spoke with her about all that she represents to me about the Lebanon that we love and that many of us have been waiting for. About the nostalgia that haunts us".
When asked about his favorite song, Fayrouz replied that it was "لبيروت", Which was broadcast on local channels while showing images of the port explosion that occurred on August 4.
Fairouz rarely speaks to the media, despite the fact that her songs are broadcast on airwaves in the Arab world.
Macron’s visit to Beirut was overshadowed by the wave of anger from the Lebanese political elite as a result of the economic collapse and the massive explosion of the port, and this was reflected in his visit to the artist’s home.
Protesters appeared on live television outside Fayrouz’s home, carrying banners that opposed forming a government with "the murderers"Macron warns about "Standing on the wrong side of history".
Macron responded to the protesters’ demands with a slight bow, with some shouting: "Adib no" This is in reference to Lebanese Prime Minister-designate Mustafa Adib, who was nominated by Lebanese leaders on Monday under French pressure.
