Hizbullah Dubs as 'Waste of Time' Any Attempt to Form Technocrat Cabinet
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah MP Mohammed Raad reiterated on Sunday that the new government would not be able to run Lebanon's affairs if its members were not political figures, hinting that a technocrat cabinet was a “waste of time.”
“The cabinet will not be able to govern Lebanon if it was not political,” Raad said. “It doesn’t only have the mission of supervising the parliamentary elections.”
“It faces other issues such as the Syrian refugees in Lebanon which is a bigger mission than holding the polls,” he said.
“So how could a non-political government deal with this situation?” the Hizbullah official wondered.
The cabinet formation is deadlocked over conflicting demands by the country's two main camps.
The Hizbullah-led March 8 alliance wants a cabinet of political figures to be able to address security concerns while the March 14 coalition is after members who are not running in the parliamentary elections.
Premier-designate Tammam Salam has said he would form a “government of national interest” to supervise the elections. He has ruled out provocative political figures to avoid dragging differences between the rival parties to the executive authority.
But Raad reiterated that Lebanon needs an all-embracing political cabinet, saying that technocrats would fail in governing the country.
The lawmaker hinted that Salam “would be wasting his time” if he sought to form a government of technocrats.

let the delay games of march 8 begin and linger. suddenly the elections is not as important and the syrian refugees is more important of an issue. i suppose that makes sense since they do not adhere to any laws, legal institutions or the constitution... they are afraid of a non political cabinet that is going to tell hizbullah that you need to stop the killing in syria!

“The cabinet will not be able to govern Lebanon if it was not political,” - We've had generations of political cabinets and they don't govern either. So what's your point fart face?

I just think HA, Amal and FPM don't want to appear as bad because their government of political hacks was the worst in this country's history. They have demonstrated that they cannot lead a country but rather are permanently etched as an opposition group with its mentality--after all they do call themselves the resistance and they need something to resist, like good governance.

bassil has never been a diplomat nor will he ever be. Diplomacy requires someone with tact, foresight and tolerance--Bassil doesn't possess any of these qualities.
Simply put, he was groveling.

"economic problems? on the rise... "
as is the case for the rest of the world. NO poor idiot... before M8 came into power lebanon despite the world crisis was spared... but your M8 friends just take that as an excuse to justify their INCOMPETENCE....
"urban planning? inexistent... "

your diagnosis: ? total blindness and hypocrisy blaming everythng on M14 but still DOING NOTHING to change anything and even encouraging wastas and corruption... you blocked all reforms from the previous gvt so that as a hypocrit you are can come and complain that nothing was done: easy when you prevent people to work...
you are a total moron with an IQ of a kidergarden baby boy ...
no wonder from people following a man that spat on his ideas to ally with those he labeled terrorist for years and now lick their ar...s just for power and money. what can come out of people with no dignity? nada... but you entertain us here red nose clown!

How could the Technocrat Government possibly do any worse than the M8 Government before it on all these issues?

March 14 theory is that Lebanon doesn't need a government of its own. Washington, Tel Aviv, Londond, and Paris give it more government than it needs already.
