Aoun: Miqati's Cabinet in Power 'Until Further Notice'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun reiterated on Tuesday that the government of Prime Minister Najib Miqati will remain in power “until further notice.”
“It is forbidden to shove the country into a vacuum,” Aoun told As Safir newspaper.
“The government will continue to work and increase productivity,” said Aoun, whose Change and Reform bloc has several ministers in the cabinet.
The FPM chief told As Safir that the March 14 opposition coalition has “exceeded all reasonable limits of logic” in its call for the formation of a new government following the Oct. 19 assassination of Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau chief Wissam al-Hasan.
“Why should the government go?” he wondered, saying “we are no longer affected by their indiscriminate accusations or their inflammatory statements.”
Aoun said he neither backs calls for the formation of a national unity cabinet nor a technocrat government.
The unity government would soon be “paralyzed under the weight of differences among its members,” he told As Safir.
“As for a proposal to form a neutral technocrat cabinet, that would be impractical … because there are neither neutral people nor real technocrats in Lebanon.”
But Aoun stressed that if a government change was unavoidable, then “the best thing would be the formation of a small cabinet that only includes the heads of parliamentary blocs.”

I've reached a point where all it is from alot of the politics is just babbling and clinging to power. Zero confidence in the system, it's a joke. The Army is the only true strong force who takes charge, as for the rest? Don't get me started...

Aoun is just telling the truth, when it's time to replace this government someone will give him a call telling him to file the appropriate papers for Gebran Bassil's unemployment. BTW McDonalds is hiring, total incompetence would disqualifying factor.

talking about a paralyzed government Mr. Aoun when you manage to block any decision or nomination to push your own interest.

He is just upset that he won't have 10 ministers in another dysfunctional cabinet--maybe 5, just not 10.

Yes Roar, M14 have been trying to discredit this fool for ages, and Aoun himself is helping them do so. Sometimes I think that Aoun is just a Guinea Pig in an experiment to find out how fallibly stupid and naive sheep can be.
