Jumblat: New Government Still in 'Quarantine'
Progressive Socialist party leader MP Walid Jumblat made a sarcastic comment on Thursday about the delayed efforts to form a new cabinet, following the election of a president and the designation of a PM, saying that the new government is still insulated.
“It seems that the virtual government is still in the quarantine,” said Jumblat via Twitter.
Since his designation on November 3 to line-up a cabinet, Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri is still facing obstacles to complete his mission and bring together a line-up that balances Lebanon's delicate sectarian-based political system.
At stake is the distribution of the most powerful portfolios like the defense ministry and other key portfolios including the public works.
