Baabda Palace Violates Protocol on Country's 70th Independence Day
Baabda Palace press office violated the protocol after failing to include the name of Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam on the list of attendees of the reception of well-wishers at the Baabda Palace on the occasion of the country's 70th Independence Day.
According to al-Liwaa newspaper published on Tuesday, the press office included the names of Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Najib Miqati but failed to place the name of Salam on the list.
Salam is also expected to be present at the military parade at Martyrs square.
The newspaper reported that Baabda Palace is seeking to rectify the protocol violation.
Since his appointment to form a cabinet in April, Salam has been seeking the formation of a 24-member cabinet in which the March 8, March 14 and centrists camps would each get eight ministers, which is being confronted by the bickering sides.
