Miqati’s Circles Snap Back at al-Mustaqbal Movement
Premier-designate Najib Miqati’s circles criticized al-Mustaqbal movement saying “it knew who to choose to snap back at us because it is aware that we don’t argue with our friend Samir al-Jisr.”
Al-Mustaqbal bloc MP al-Jisr accused Miqati in remarks published Sunday that the premier-designate wasn’t extending his hand to the March 14 forces.
Miqati’s alleged policy of openness should come through providing answers to March 14 demands on the commitment to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and finding a solution to the illegitimate arms, the lawmaker told An Nahar.
Al-Jisr and Miqati hail from the northern port city of Tripoli.
The circles told An Nahar and As Safir newspapers on Monday that there was nothing new in the statement of March 14 MPs that announced the coalition would be the new opposition. “Everyone has the right to express his or her opinion,” they said.
Miqati will now intensify his contacts to form the cabinet, the circles added.
