Miqati Meets Berri, New Cabinet Initiative in the Making

Premier-designate Najib Miqati held talks with Speaker Nabih Berri in Ain el-Tineh on Tuesday night amid reports about efforts to launch a new initiative to solve the cabinet deadlock.

Al-Liwaa and An Nahar dailies said new efforts have been made to end the government impasse and speed up its formation.

However, the circles of both Berri and Miqati did not comment on the issue.

An Nahar said that despite the initiative, relations between Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun on one side and President Michel Suleiman and Miqati on the other, have reached a low point over Aoun’s continued verbal attacks on the two officials.

Miqati’s circles refused to counter the attacks and said that all sides should adopt a calm rhetoric and help the prime minister-designate succeed in forming the government.
