Al-Rahi Meets Aoun, Urges Quick Govt. Formation

W460

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi held talks Friday in Baabda with President Michel Aoun.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, al-Rahi stressed the need to form a new government “as a gateway for reforms and to reach solutions,” urging the PM-designate and the President to “form the government as soon as possible.”

Lamenting “the situation that we have reached,” the patriarch added: “We are all responsible, each from his position. Let us close ranks and cooperate to be able to overcome this crisis.”

Asked whether there is progress in the government formation process, al-Rahi said “there is progress according to what newspapers are reporting.”

Asked whether there is progress in the government formation process, al-Rahi said “there is progress according to what newspapers are reporting.”

and during his meeting with Aoun, he did not ask Aoun if there was progress in the cabinet formation? So what did they talk about, the weather? lol

Funny guy indeed. Isn't it better for him to retire from this task. Every time he goes to Baabda, he makes awful mistakes. His mental health should be assessed. he knows beyond any reasonable doubt that Aoun is not sane, and yet, he still visits him. What a joke indeed.

Mikati is not the kind of man that we need.
His government won't change a thing. On the contrary...

Excellent, why then don't you make that clear to your party which spares no occasion to stress it's holy Shiism?

If the President hadn't interfered a government would have been formed many months ago.
