Report: FPM Undecided on Attending Cabinet Session
The Free Patriotic Movement has not yet determined whether it will attend next week's cabinet session, reported the daily al-Mustaqbal on Sunday.
A prominent FPM source told the daily that Change and Reform bloc chief MP Michel Aoun “is awaiting answers to certain questions” before taking any decision.
“Should some of the FPM's demands be met, then the movement's participation in the cabinet meeting will be productive,” it added.
“The movement is keen on reactivating government work, but it is still awaiting answers to its demands,” it stressed.
The cabinet's work has been crippled in recent months over the FPM's insistence that an agreement be reached over its decision-making mechanism.
Ongoing disputes over the issue have hindered the government's work, resulting in the accumulation of hundreds of articles.
Some media reports placed that number at around a thousand.
Prime Minister Tammam Salam scheduled a government meeting for Thursday.
It is set to discuss “non-contentious” issues.
