Report: Berri proposes package deal over presidency, PM, govt.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has proposed a package deal involving both the presidency and the premiership, a media report said.

“The deal would not only involve the next president, but also the premiership and the members of the new government,” al-Liwaa newspaper reported on Tuesday.

“This reminds of the French formula that had called for electing Suleiman Franjieh as president in return for naming Nawaf Salam as premier,” the daily noted.
