Miqati Warns from Baabda: Formation Timeframe Not Open-Ended
Prime Minister-designate Najib Miqati warned Monday after meeting President Michel Aoun in Baabda that the timeframe for the cabinet's formation is “not open-ended.”
“I was honestly hoping for a faster pace in the cabinet formation process and I was hoping for a government before the August 4 anniversary,” Miqati said after the talks.
Noting that he wants to preserve the “same confessional distribution of portfolios” that was followed in Hassan Diab’s government, in order to avoid further complications, the PM-designate said he agreed with Aoun to meet again on Thursday.
