3-4-2018
In its relentless support for women nominees for the upcoming parliamentary elections, L’Orient Le Jour highlighted the career path of the minister of state for administrative development, Inaya Izzedine, running on Amal Movement’s Tyre list. Izzedine, the newspaper wrote, holds a BS in biology from AUB and a PhD in medicine from the same university, besides specializing in clinical laboratory medicine and pathology and another sub-specialty in this area. Speaking to L’Orient Le Jour, Izzedine said she has been an activist in Amal since her childhood, and in 2009, Speaker Nabih Berri asked her to join the Movement’s political bureau and later the ministry, which she accepted as a new challenge and an opportunity to participate in public service. The newspaper spotlighted another candidate, Patricia Elias Smida, running as an independent for Keserouan-Ftouh-Jbeil district. Being a prominent lawyer in the French and Lebanese courts, Smida is known as a non-sectarian advocate for human rights and an international lawyer as well. She travelled to Paris where she played a major role and won the European Parliament elections where she represented Lebanon and the Lebanese expat community as well as the French officials, L'Orient Le Jour reported.
