Lebanese Prime Minister-designate Mustafa Adib began non-binding consultations with the parliamentary blocs on Wednesday. In an effort to form a government, France and other countries, to support it, stipulate that it implement urgent reforms to lift Lebanon out of its crisis, which was exacerbated by the Beirut port explosion.
At the beginning of these consultations, Adeeb (48 years old) met with the president of the parliament Nabih Berri, representatives of the Future Bloc, Development and Liberation Bloc, Progressive Socialist and former Prime Minister Tammam Salam.
At these meetings, the prime minister-designate will listen to the views of parliamentarians on their perceptions of the government and their ministerial statement.
Several Lebanese parties and parliamentary blocs announced that with the formation of a government of specialists they would accelerate the implementation of the required reforms and the investigations into the port explosion, which increased popular discontent with the political class in Lebanon.
Mustafa Adeeb had said, shortly after President Michel Aoun assigned him on Monday to form a new government, that he hoped to form it as soon as possible, hoping that all political forces would contribute to facilitate his mission.
Following the resignation of Prime Minister Hassan Diab as a result of the aftermath of the Beirut port explosion, which left 190 dead and material losses estimated at no less than $ 8 billion, Lebanese political forces agreed to assign Adeeb to form the next government.
Adeeb has been Lebanon’s ambassador to Germany since 2013, and before that he was an adviser and director of the office of former prime minister Najib Mikati, a figure unknown to Lebanese.
