Report: March 8 Says Miqati’s Performance Serving Opposition
The March 8-led cabinet criticized the performance of Prime Minister Najib Miqati concerning certain issues saying it benefits the March 14 opposition movement, An Nahar newspaper reported on Friday.
Sources in the March 8 leadership told the daily that the majority is holding onto Miqati and trying to safeguard him from the opposition campaigns against him.
However, the sources said that the coalition rejects some policies adopted by the PM because at the end they will only benefit the March 14-led opposition.
“Miqati isn’t carrying out the role that Lebanon should be playing at the Arab League meeting,” the sources noted.
They added that Miqati refuses to “tackle the issue of false witnesses, the criticism by the cabinet members of a number of officers in the Internal Security Forces, and the campaign against the army.”
Former Free Patriotic Movement minister Mario Aoun told Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) that his party isn’t satisfied with the performance of the cabinet; however, he said the FPM “will not agree on transforming it into a caretaking cabinet.”
