Presidency: PM-designate Had Nothing New on Govt File
The presidency Friday said that President Michel Aoun received PM-designate Saad Hariri at Baabda Palace and that Hariri “had nothing new regarding the government formation file,” the presidency wrote in an official tweet.
It added that the two men met at “Hariri’s request after his tour abroad and discussed the formation of the upcoming government,” adding that “it became evident that the PM-designate did not bring anything new at the government level,” it said in its tweet.
For his part, Hariri told reporters after talks with Aoun that “there was no progress on the government file,” and that he briefed the president on his meetings with foreign and Arab leaders.
Hariri met the presidents of Egypt and France during his tour.
and what is the purpose of this statement except to show how combative, arrogant, and belligerent Aoun and his joke of a presidency is.
For all your guys commenting here, please see out of the box, stop following without thinking.
The problem here is not political, is cultural, because everyone think he has the right to blame the other ones for his own mistakes.
Both of them should resign. Immediately. The country would definitely do better without both, actually probably without any such men.
Hariri doesn’t have to resign, he isn’t occupying an official position. He isn’t even Mustaqbal’s elected leader.
As far as I can understand Hariri has done nothing wrong.
According the Constitution of Lebanon, he has to "consult" with the President of the Republic regarding the formation of a new government.
This. according to reports. he has done on more than one occasion.
As he has thus consulted with the President, there should be no legal hinderance whatsoever to detract from or delay his intention to form a government of technocrats.
The office of the presidency does not issue actual statements by aoun, but rather from his 'advisors'. I don't think old man aoun knows what twitter is and may believe that the internet is a series of tubes.....
