Salam: Officials Must Assume their Responsibilities to Avert Dangers against Lebanon
Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam noted on Sunday that Lebanon is passing through a critical phase, hoping that all sides would exert efforts to avert escalating the tensions in the country.
He said before political, popular, social, and sports delegations: “Officials should assume their responsibilities in order to avert dangers against Lebanon.”
“This requires them to avoid tense rhetoric that fuels sectarianism, which is becoming a burden on our safety and country,” he remarked.
Salam's efforts to form a new government are ongoing.
He is seeking the formation of a cabinet of national interests that can stage the parliamentary elections.
The March 14 camp has meanwhile been demanding the formation of a neutral government, while its rival March 8 camp has been calling for the establishment of a political government.
