Shiite Duo says not obstructing government's formation
A senior Shiite Duo official has said that Hezbollah and the Amal Movement have been “the bloc that has facilitated the PM-designate’s mission the most.”
“Our matters our clear, there are no complications from our side, and the accusations that we are obstructing are untrue,” the official told al-Joumhouria newspaper in remarks published Thursday.
“As for clinging to the finance portfolio, it is part of national balances, especially that the Shiite community does not have a signature on decrees,” the official said.
“They are accusing us of blackmail, but let them tell us what we have taken. We are keen on adhering to national consensus, especially during this period, and to the Taif Agreement and the constitution, and we support everything that facilitates formation,” the official added.
“Hezbollah’s new leader talked in five consecutive speeches about building the state, and accordingly the Duo will neither obstruct nor impede, but will rather facilitate,” the official went on to say.
