Govt. Talks Begin Based on 'French Paper', Hariri Proposals
Consultations to form a new government have kicked off based on a “French paper” and another prepared by ex-PM Saad Hariri, TV networks said on Thursday.
“The talks over the government are based on a French paper that was delivered to a number of Lebanese leaders,” the reports said.
“It summarizes the contacts that French President Emmanuel Macron carried out with them and is based on a reform program that would begin with the quick formation of a government dubbed ‘mission government,’” the reports added.
The reports also said that Hariri has another paper that “intersects with the French paper, especially over topics such as electricity reform, telecommunications, judiciary, security, financial audit and the International Monetary Fund.”
Al-Jadeed TV meanwhile reported that Speaker Nabih Berri has launched an initiative aimed at “agreeing on a unified reform program” for the new government.

Hariri should not even be considered as he is one of the biggest thieves and we are in this situation because of him and his gang of thieves.

For Lebanon to be in peace they should form a whole new government.All need to leave and let the younger generation take over.Otherwise lebanon will never be at peace.Cause they live in the past.Very hard for lebanese people to agree.
That way they can be able to moved forward.Lebanon will be at peace think for the children stabilty, education .They will feel safe and at peace.Not a country that always there is war and corrupt.

I thought that Macron listened to the people when he was in Beirut, They told him , we don't want the feudal system, we don't want the warlords ,we don't want corruption,we want honest and competent people
