Report: Berri’s Govt Proposal Faces Hurdles
After high hopes that the initiative of Speaker Nabih Berri could make a breakthrough in a deadlocked government formation, Nidaa al-Watan newspaper said on Saturday that the difficult counter conditions set by political parties are Likely to thwart any hope in that direction.
Quoting sources close to Berri, the daily said his initiative reached a “deadlock” and needs a “miracle to make any positive breach."
They blamed it on the "intensifying" political battles and counter conditions between the team of the President and the Free Patriotic Movement on one hand, and the team of Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri on the other.
According to information obtained by Nidaa al-Watan, Hariri plans ot meet on Saturday with Grand Sunni Mufti of the Republic Sheikh Abdul Latif Deryan to brief him on “the negative atmospheres” surrounding the formation process.
Hariri has several options in mind, mainly a suggestion to step back from his position to form a government, mit added.
Berri’s initiative suggests a 24-minister line-up based on the 8+8+8 formula.

Dude is trying to stay relative. He might survive the next elections and be elected as speaker again. But don't you worry the Hizbos will guarantee everyone in parliament vote for they they want to "Install" as speaker, and there will be only one candidate. Mark my words.

When is this guy going to retire? Not only is he a crook, he also is the cause of all of Lebanon's troubles. We should ship or exile him with Aoun to the end of the world. Or we should all pray for the devil to take them from amongst us as they both are reaching 90 years of age. I am sure the devil will welcome them with open arms or perhaps even giving them high ranks in hell as they have so much sins on their hands. How long are we going to have such stooges running our lives?
