Suleiman: Formation of New Govt. Won't Change Political Status Quo
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
President Michel Suleiman stressed on Tuesday that it has become necessary to form a new government that tackles the people's daily concerns, especially in light of the advent of winter and the start of a new academic school year.
He said before his visitors: “The formation of a new cabinet will not change the political status quo or the situation around us.”
Officials must realize the “sensitivity” of the current phase and drop preconditions over the formation of a government, he demanded.
This should lead to the formation of a new cabinet that includes all powers, he added.
The government should be able to reinforce political and security stability, said Suleiman.
Speaker Nabih Berri had recently proposed the resumption of national dialogue at the Baabda Palace for a period of at least five consecutive days to discuss the form and policy statement of the future cabinet.
He said Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam should attend the all-party talks that bring together the rival March 8 and 14 alliances.
Salam has meanwhile said that the formation of a cabinet should be limited to the premier and president.

God bless this man.
"Officials must realize the “sensitivity” of the current phase and drop preconditions over the formation of a government, he demanded."
Just start talking, everybody, will ya?
Absolutely no change will come by not discussing this. Except the fact that people's view on politicians making too much money for too little work will intensify.

Sure! Aoun's all over tackling the people's daily concerns. Check out how he's handling the Hiz network expansion in Zahle. Didn't happen under my watch = Aoun didn't make money off of it, therefore, it's not his concern. That's competency!
