A well-informed political source confirmed to Asharq Al-Awsat that “the meeting that took place the day before yesterday between President Michel Aoun and Prime Minister Saad Hariri to form the government, Saad Hariri, almost supposed a qualitative leap that pushes to open a hole in the dead end with which the rounds collide. The prior consultations can be based on a serious discussion of the formation of the government if the head of the Free Patriotic Movement, Deputy Gebran Bassil, did not intervene quickly and dispel the optimism that prevailed in him, in contrast to the statement issued by the Media Office. in the Presidency of the Republic, which did not reflect the positive atmosphere that characterized it.
The political source revealed that Aoun did not present Hariri with an integrated proposal to redistribute ministerial portfolios without names, in response to the ministerial formation that the president-designate brought with him to Baabda, and said that Aoun made comments related to the review of the distribution of some wallets.
He pointed out that the ministerial formation proposed by Hariri was integrated and was made up of 18 ministers, and he was interested in taking into account the sectarian balance based on his commitment to what he promised to be composed of specialists, independent and non-partisan, and stressed that there is nothing wrong with the names of the ministers nominated to enter, and they are from the public and private sectors.
The same source confirmed that the cabinet formation included names from the list that Aoun had presented to Hariri in previous rounds of author consultations, not agreeing with other names included in it, including several retired officers. He said: “The names Hariri put forward are not provocative, they do not belong to the parties, and the Sunni ministers have nothing to do with the Future Movement. He confirmed that he left Baabda after dating Aoun to communicate as soon as he finished studying. and scrutinize the names mentioned in the list. “
Considering that the statement issued by Baabda was contrary to the rules and customs and traditions followed in the authorization consultations between the President of the Republic and the President-designate, he asked, instead, about the reasons that prevented Aoun from simply studying the names contained in the ministerial training that Hariri was leading on the one hand and propose the amendments he wanted. Regarding the issuance of the statement that brought the consultations to the starting point, and although Hariri expressed his disgust at the statement issued by Aoun, because the association in the authorship does not allow him to explode what the designated president presented, although what was mentioned in The statement was not present with at least some of its contents at the meeting, but Hariri chose to remain silent and avoid publicly expressing his anger, not only because the country cannot tolerate further aggravation with the accumulation of crises that require accelerating the formation of the government to assume his responsibility to provide the minimum solutions to curb the increase in poverty and hunger, but only because he does not want to be dragged into a confrontation with Aoun. Because of the statement he issued, his political team, led by Basil, had the first role to issue it to thwart efforts to accelerate the birth of the government.
