Parliament Speaker Nabih confirmed, after meeting President Michel Aoun and PM-designate Saad Hariri at the Baabda Palace, “the optimistic atmosphere between President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, and PM-designate Saad Hariri.”
After the end of the binding parliamentary consultations which led to the designation of Hariri to form the new government, Speaker Berri said, “There will be a rapprochement between the Future Movement and the Free Patriotic Movement.”
Speaker Berri underscored that the negative atmosphere affects all the political circles in Lebanon, confirming that the cabinet formation would be sooner than expected.
It is worth noting that Hariri was nominated for premiership by 65 MPs and 53 of others refrained from naming anyone.
