Imminent Formation of Government Ruled Out

W460

Center House sources have ruled out the possibility of forming a new government this month, citing “the statements of the Strong Lebanon bloc on the eve of PM-designate Saad Hariri’s return to Beirut.”

In remarks to the Progressive Socialist Party’s al-Anbaa news portal, the sources described the statements as “the explosion that precedes the storm.”

“MP Jebran Bassil will have a speech on Sunday and Hariri’s response will be of the same caliber, and therefore the issue of the government will be postponed,” the sources explained.

MP Yassine Jaber of the Development and Liberation bloc meanwhile told al-Anbaa that the formation of a government “in these circumstances” is ruled out.

“We are hearing how U.S. President Donald Trump has gone mad… There are no indications that the government will be formed,” Jaber added.

Batrak : Lebanon needs your help. All existing politicians should be excluded from any role in the future government .it is not constructive to have anyone of them, beside the fact that they lost credibility, it creates a precedent( why he, not me? situation ). In order to have a large majority of the population believing in and supporting the new reforms and the new government no-one from the old school politicians/warlords( 1975-2020) should have a role in the new government ,that's the only way to proceed. It is feasible if the Batrak starts a protest march, I am sure >80% of the Lebanese( from all religions) will support him and walk behind him, that's the only way to have real reforms.
