Geagea Laments that Lebanese Cabinets Don’t Make Progress

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea has said that he wouldn’t congratulate Lebanon on the formation of Prime Minister Najib Miqati’s cabinet.

“Everyone is going forward except for governments in Lebanon that go backwards,” Geagea said in a brief remark to al-Joumhouria daily on Tuesday.

The LF leader said last week that the only solution to Lebanon’s problems was to form a technocrat cabinet that deals with the economic and social issues.

“A one-sided cabinet would make things worse,” he said in a news conference.

Geagea also accused the March 8 forces of seeking to consolidate Hizbullah rather than forming a strong state.
