Presidents Michel Aoun and Najib Mikati are expected to resume consultations on the formation of the government tomorrow, Tuesday, amid assessments also addressing existing differences on the necessary changes to the current formation of the government to approve a new government by changing two or three ministers.
Sources following the government issue told Al-Liwaa: The trend is positive towards the formation of the government and things are almost ripe, but still uncertainty surrounds the ministers that they will change.
He added: The formation of the government will certainly precede the invitation of the President of the Parliament Nabih Berri to the presidential election session, to give a positive and reassuring signal to the continuation and regularity of work in all state institutions in case of delay in the election. of the president.
Well-informed political sources have made it clear to the “Liwaa” that all the speech that is circulating regarding the decision to change ministerial portfolio remains only a deliberation, pending what was decided by the President of the Republic in the meeting with the President-designate.
Sources say the issue of an orphaned government reshuffle could be attached to the current government, which has not yet been broken, in light of the non-submission of proposals for the alternative minister, which is meant by the Druze minister of the Democratic Party. .
And he felt that the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister-designate would not agree to give up their quota without some balance, but the practice of forming the government is entering a new phase and could work out positively, unless something happens. unthinkable.
Political sources say the new government’s formation path is on track, following Hezbollah’s contacts and efforts with President Aoun and MP Gibran Bassil on the one hand, and with the president-designate and his supporter, the President Nabih Berri, on the other hand, during which the dispute between the two sides was reduced to a minimum, but the point of contention still remains over who appoints the few ministers, or even the two alternative ministers, the minister of displaced persons and the Minister of Economy, after having personally left the decision on this dispute to the two presidents after Mikati’s return from abroad.
Sources indicated that the discrepancy on this residual issue will not result in the disruption of the formation of the new government, although Bassil seeks by promoting the replacement of other ministers whose names they cannot change, or by leaking new minister names in the floating government. to confuse the president-designate and attempt to blackmail him, before his scheduled meeting with the President of the Republic in the middle of this week after the completion of the approval of the draft general budget scheduled for today or at the latest tomorrow
