The government formation record between the imminent birth and “zero point” … Punishments do their job, and Berri clings to finances

After the last meeting between the President of the Republic and the President-designate Mustafa Adib, almost everyone recognized that the birth of the government was at the end of this week or the beginning of next week as far as possible, provided that it was preceded by a second meeting between the President of the Republic and the designated president to bless the names chosen for the portfolios.

As for the President of the Republic, the number of members of the government is no longer a problem, leaving the designated President to estimate the appropriate number.

In the file for the formation of the new government, sources from the Baabda Palace and the Ain al-Tineh Palace confirmed to “LBCI” that “in the next few hours, the president-designate Mustafa Adeeb will take the formation of the new government to the Baabda Palace to leave the names in the bags. “

The sources said: “The President of the Republic, Michel Aoun, gave Adeeb the responsibility of determining the number of suitcases, which means that we are close to the birth of the government, and therefore the government will be formed at the weekend or early next “.

And the sources added: “The decision of sanctions of the United States will not affect the process of formation of the government, and has been interpreted by some references that it is a political decision par excellence”.

On the other hand, political sources confirmed to Al-Jadid that “the representative Ali Hassan Khalil would have carried out a round of government consultations, which was canceled due to the recent US sanctions.”

The sources also indicated that “the cancellation of Hassan Khalil’s tour, as well as some developments and sanctions, reduced the government’s authorship file to zero.”

She said: “The Shiite duo have gotten tough in terms of sticking to the financial portfolio in response to recent US sanctions.”

He quoted the Speaker of Parliament, Nabih Berri, as saying: “The finances are mine”, in a clear indication of his adherence to the Ministry of Finance.
