An almost final agreement on a twentieth government for each minister, following the merger and the announcement at the end of the week.

A member of the Development and Liberation Bloc, deputy Qassem Hashem, revealed that “the government will be semi-technical-political, but with competent ministers with political backgrounds, that the blocs will call and elect the president in charge with the president of the Republic, and the matter will apply to all blocks. ” In statements to the media, Hashem pointed out that “the government environment is positive and the intentions are good. Among the different blocks, there is a semi-final understanding of the government’s image, and from here until the weekend we can be in front of a government “.

In this regard, he stated: “The tendency of the government is to be made up of 20 ministers, and the Ministry of Finance is out of the question, and it will be of the participation of development and liberation in a non-partisan name, and the rotation is on the table for other portfolios and the discussion has begun. ” And Hashem indicated that “the speaker of parliament, Nabih Berri, played a mediating role.” The prime minister in charge of the formation of the government, Saad Hariri, and the leader of the Free Patriotic Movement, Gebran Bassil, have gathered views and that Bassil participates in non-binding parliamentary consultations. I hope Hariri will present his government’s vision in 48 hours.

For his part, Deputy Jamil Al-Sayed said in a tweet on his Twitter account that “the government will be formed by trial, and its ministers will be a quasi representation of the same political forces, and will obtain the confidence of the Council with more votes from which Prime Minister Saad Hariri got “, adding:” But the question is, will he be saved. ” The country and the people ?! “And the teacher continued:” In principle, the same people do the same result, unless a divine revelation descended on them or they repented and reformed, but, neither this nor that. In the same context, the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, received the Prime Minister appointing Saad Hariri after yesterday he appeared in his private pavilion at the Baabda Palace, “and they discussed the authorship file, and made progress in this field” , as reported by the media office of the Presidency of the Republic.

The meeting lasted about an hour, away from any media coverage and without prior notice. Although the silence of the Baabda Palace and the “Casa del Centro” was enveloped, sources involved in the communications did not deny an account that said that an initial understanding was made about a XX government with a portfolio of ministers after the merger of some ministries , and that Hariri backtracked from the 14-minister formula, which was not a final option for him. Informed circles said that the positivity reflected in the presidential palace statement, after the meeting between Aoun and Hariri, “may not be accurate.”

Sources noted that “Hariri is cooperating so far, but fears that obstacles will arise here or there”, highlighting “the need to accelerate the formation of the government because each day of delay will have negative repercussions amid the severe socio-economic crisis.” The sources explained that the environment The positivity that covered the climate of government authorship has been erased by the sudden negatives that arose in the last hours, which, if they continue to be intractable, would delay the composition, which was intended to be carried out within a few days, for a long period of more than weeks. He added that the discussion between Aoun and Hariri was not completed. Yesterday, with the positivity with which he left, but returned and collided with the complexity of the rotation in the distribution of suitcases, where the position of President of the Republic emerged in which he insisted on the integral rotation in the distribution of ministries.
