Berri Says ‘Golden Triangle’ Consolidates Lebanon
Speaker Nabih Berri urged the new cabinet to speed up the drafting of the policy statement by the end of the month to compensate the government formation delay, An Nahar newspaper reported on Monday.
“PM (Najib) Miqati’s cabinet has the chance to accomplish achievements in different sectors,” he said.
Asked about the formula of the “people, army and resistance” in the ministerial statement, Berri told the daily that this formula is indisputable, stressing that it’s the “golden triangle” that will consolidate Lebanon.
“We will not find a better equation, it’s realistic and objective,” As Safir newspaper quoted him as saying.
The speaker stressed that this government will not “avenge” or perform any “wicked” actions against March 14 members in the ministries and institutions. He added that the government “is for all Lebanon, it will not differentiate between a citizen and another.”
Berri called on opening all corruption files without any exception. As Safir reported his readiness to probe alleged violations in the Council for the South. “If they find anything illegal, let justice take its course,” he said.
Concerning the clashes that erupted in Tripoli on Friday, Berri praised the military’s role in “turning off the spark of sedition.”
He noted that one of the advantages of forming the cabinet was “handling the situation in Tripoli swiftly.” Berri added: “If there was no government, the clashes would have continued.”
