Aoun Hopes for Govt. in Few Days, Says Won't Resign
President Michel Aoun on Monday hoped that the new government will be formed in the “next few days,” as he stressed that he will not resign.
Noting that he is a “partner” with the PM-designate in the formation process, Aoun said he has the right to choose from the proposed candidates.
“I will not resign and I will perform my duties until the end,” the President emphasized.
“I hope that the phase of rebuilding Lebanon psychologically and materially will start with me before being completed by the new president,” Aoun went on to say.
He added: “We hope to be able to curb the crisis through the formation of a new government in the next few days, despite the efforts by some to obstruct this formation.”
Aoun also said that the new government would start “structural reforms and negotiations with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank to rebuild Lebanon and re-organized it administratively and politically at the various levels.”
