The prime minister in charge of forming the government, Saad Hariri, said after his meeting with the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, at the Baabda Palace this afternoon: “We were hoping there would be a government before, perhaps there are still obvious complications, But I tell you one thing: Certainly there is clarity in the problems that exist in politics, But I tell the Lebanese, no one is telling them that we are incapable of stopping the collapse, and the most important thing is that this collapse needs a government to stop it. , and you need a government of specialists to lead the reform we want, Mr. President, myself and all Lebanese. From this point of view I hope that everyone realizes I will not stop until the formation of a government, and that it is a government of specialists, which is also what the President of the Republic wants, but the dispute is for other matters, and it may be due to the trust that has been lost over the past year, which we must rebuild between the parties. Know that politicians no longer have time, and politicians must also know that the country is collapsing very quickly. Accelerating the formation of a government is the basis, as long as it is a government of specialists and experts who know what they are doing, without being politicized.
He added: “I don’t want to meet the minister whom I will call a longtime acquaintance, and this person who will be appointed to that ministry must be truly professional, and his focus should be on reform, not what Saad Hariri wants. Yes Saad Hariri tells you one day, do it and don’t do it. “I should tell you, even if you are prime minister, that this method is wrong and that what is required of us is to reform in this way, not in a twisted way. We want people to tell us no when we, as presidents, are wrong. We want people who really benefit from them for the benefit of the country.
He continued: Today I say to the Lebanese: We may be late in the formation of the government, and this matter unfortunately puts pressure on the country, but I know that His Excellency the President is interested in forming this government, and I also have the same concern , and we will continue working and communicating until the formation of this government. But no one is telling the Lebanese that this collapse cannot be stopped. By the time this government is formed, we will work hard to achieve it. There are tough decisions that we will make, and there are quick decisions that we will make, and this is the only way that we can work with our allies abroad and the international community to get Lebanon back where it should be. “
He said: “I wish that all political parties, wherever they are and whatever their thoughts, focus on one thing, that we have become the winter season, and the people whose houses were destroyed no longer have a shelter to stay. under his roof. We must form a government as soon as possible, and the Lebanese should He feels there is a safety net protecting him in this country, and this cannot be achieved without forming a government. From here, I wish you a glorious holiday , God willing, and I wish that all political parties during these holidays think of the people, of the citizen of Baalbek, Kesrouan, Akkar or Minya. Or Denniyeh or the South, think of these people who are really in need and the need to have a government. Think of the army whose salary the element or commander has become an unenviable level. Think of the internal security forces, the administration, all these people who really need it. still, and think about all these “Those who do not have work. Others can work in the state and receive at least one salary, while others earn nothing. “
He concluded by saying: “I say that the greatness of Lebanon is in the Lebanese, and we, as Lebanese alone, are capable of stopping this collapse, but we have to be humble and think about the interest of the country, without prioritizing the interest of one part over another, but in the interest of a country for which we all deserve to sacrifice. Here, to present challenges to any political party, but it is a moment that we all want to do, because after the New Year there must be a government, that is why the Lebanese citizen does not want to see Saad Hariri “look at the Republican Palace and descend from it” without Government “.
