President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, stressed the need to form a new government as soon as possible, pointing out that it is not permissible to continue to obstruct this entitlement, “Especially since the supreme national interest requires that the regularity in the constitutional institutions be secured and the national partnership is safeguarded in terms of forming the new government or the election of a new president of the republic, especially since the caretaker government will not be able to fully exercise its responsibilities in the event that it is not possible to elect a new president of the republic for any reason”.

President Aoun also emphasized that “It does not seem normal that the vacuum at the level of the executive authority, which is incomplete in specifications and does not have the confidence of the House of Representatives, can fill a vacuum at the level of the Presidency of the Republic”.

President Aoun’s positions were conveyed by the head of the Maronite League, Ambassador Khalil Karam, who visited Baabda Palace this morning.

Ambassador Karam had presented with the President the general situation and recent government developments, and a number of current affairs, in addition to the issue of empowering the diaspora who wish to regain their Lebanese citizenship and benefit from the law that organized the restoration process.
