LF MP calls on Salam to show 'modesty', says he 'doesn't have a bloc'

MP Pierre Bou Assi of the Lebanese Forces on Tuesday hurled a jab at Prime Minister-designate Nawaf Salam.

“When a PM-designate does not have any parliamentary bloc that enjoys the legitimacy of representing the people, modesty and wisdom become a must,” Bou Assi wrote on his official X account.

“In addition to courage, modesty and wisdom are the characteristic of a statesman,” Bou Assi added.

The LF has objected against its reported share in the government that Salam is seeking to form, while also criticizing the PM-designate over the share that he will reportedly allocate to Hezbollah and the Amal Movement.

According to media reports, the LF may opt to stay out of the government if it does not get the share it wants.
