Berri: This Week Will See the Beginning of the Final Stage of Cabinet Birth
This week should be decisive for Prime Minister-designate Najib Miqati’s attempts to form a new government, Speaker Nabih Berri told the English-language The Daily Star newspaper.
“This week will be decisive. It will see the beginning of the final stage of the birth of the new government,” Berri said in the remarks published Tuesday.
“Consultations and contacts will be intensified in an attempt to overcome the last remaining hurdles standing in the way of the government’s formation,” he added.
Despite Berri’s remarks, no cabinet is looming in the horizon -- Miqati is still in contact with different parties to solve the main deadlock of Free Patriotic Movement leader’s insistence to get the interior ministry and President Michel Suleiman is traveling to Rome and Kuwait this week.
