Mikati urges against continued 'obstacles' in way of govt. formation

Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati on Tuesday stressed that he will “continue all the efforts aimed at forming the new government.”

“All those concerned must meanwhile support these efforts and refrain from continuing to put conditions and obstacles in a blatant attempt to achieve political gains whose timing is inappropriate and which cannot be accepted,” Mikati added.

“Let us all cooperate to resolve the governmental file in a manner that contributes to establishing further political stability and avoiding futile and useless debates, especially that the constitution is clear in all files and there is no room for misinterpreting the texts,” the PM-designate went on to say.
