    Hariri: Aoun Insists On Blocking Majority In Government For His Political Group

    In his visit to Baabda Palace on Monday, Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri met with President Michel Aoun with the aim of urgently forming a government of non-partisan specialists that will rescue Lebanon.

    Only 30 minutes after arriving, Hariri exited the meeting in disappointment. The meeting was not successful and it is clear there will be no government for now.

    Speaking on live television after the meeting, Hariri revealed that Aoun sent him his own proposal last night based on sectarian and partisan lines and asked him to fill the names of his choosing.

    بكل شفافية، رح قلكن يللي قلتلو اياه اليوم .
    أولا: هيدي غير مقبولة لانو الرئيس المكلف "مش شغلتو يعبي وراق من حدا"، ولا شغلة رئيس الجمهورية يشكل حكومة،
    وتانياً لانو  دستورنا بيقول بوضوح الرئيس المكلف بيشكل الحكومة وبيوضع الاسماء، وبيتناقش بتشكيلتو مع فخامة الرئيس. #القصر_الجمهوري

    — Saad Hariri (@saadhariri) March 22, 2021

    “Aoun’s message is unacceptable because the PM-designate is not supposed to fill in papers for anyone but is the one who forms the government,” he remarked, “and it is not the work of the President to form a Cabinet.”

    ثانيا: قلت لفخامة الرئيس ان تشكيلتي بين يديه من ١٠٠ يوم وجاهز هلق متل ما سبق وقلت علنا لاي اقتراحات وتعديلات بالاسماء والحقائب، وحتى اصراره على وزارة الداخلية سهلتلو الحل. لكن مع الاسف جوابه الواضح: الثلث المعطل. #القصر_الجمهوري

    “I put my formation in his hand 100 days ago and I am ready now for any changes and modifications,” he said adding that Aoun‘s main interest is having veto power.

    Hariri shared the full list of names which he says Aoun rejected. It included names of experts such as Firass Abiad and Nasser Yassin.

    “My goal is one, which is to put an end to the collapse and to the suffering of the Lebanese; I have asked President Aoun to form a government of specialists, carry out reforms, and stop the collapse.”

    As the case was since Hariri was nominated PM-designate, the pair cannot come to an agreement over the next government’s Cabinet, which was supposed to be in line with the French initiative to save the country.

    اجتماع يكشف قمة العجز والانهيار والفشل. رئيس الجمهورية طلب من الحريري تعبئة ورقة باسماء الوزراء وفق نظرته الخاصة للامور وتتضمن ثلثا معطلا. اعيدت الورقة. انتهى البلد!. ماذا يفعل ميشال عون ومستشاروه؟. هل اصبحنا في نظام رئاسي يحكمه ديكتاتور؟. لماذا لا يعتذر الحريري. اين العقوبات؟. pic.twitter.com/l4xiDz0NpO

    Meanwhile, Lebanon’s currency continues to fluctuate leading to an economic catastrophe.
