Hariri Says Mustaqbal Backs Berri's Reelection, Describes Ties as 'Excellent'
Prime Minister Saad Hariri has confirmed that al-Mustaqbal Movement is in favor of the reelection of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri to his post.
“The relation with Speaker Nabih Berri is excellent,” Hariri told MTV.
“We have a long journey with him and we always agree on the issues that have to do with the country's interest and the things that benefit citizens,” the premier added.
He also stressed that his bloc will back Berri's reelection.
MP Hani Qobeissi of Berri's AMAL Movement had warned Saturday that there are attempts to "weaken" Berri.
"Their main slogan is weakening Speaker Nabih Berri and rejecting his reelection as parliament speaker," the MP alleged.
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat had cautioned in remarks published Friday that President Michel Aoun, PM Hariri and the Free Patriotic Movement "are targeting Berri."

Hariri Says Mustaqbal Backs Berri's Reelection, Describes Ties as 'Excellent'
If ties are excellent then why do you tell your constituents you are f'ighting' Amal and Hezbollah and are running against both of them in the parliamentary elections only to elect Berri after the elections?

Every election, Hizbullah ties with Future are EXCELLENT, Future Ties with Amal are Excellent, everyone in power loves everyone in power during the election, I'm sure they'll even clean the streets and provide more electricity. The only one that will be F'ed in this is the Lebanese. Like sheep they will always follow their Shepard.
