The Information Minister Manal Abdul Samad announced in the wake of the Cabinet session held in Baabda that the government unanimously approved the ministerial policy, with the introduction of some amendments in accordance with specialists’ observations.
“The electricity plan that was approved in 2019 will be implemented, with few amendments to it if need be,” she said, noting that Prime Minister Hassan Diab labeled this government a ‘challenges’ facing’ one.
“President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, has said that, after the government gains confidence, it is necessary to kick off work immediately so as to compensate for lost time. He also asked to add a clause on the repatriation of the displaced to the text of the statement, especially since the majority of displaced [persons] entered [the country] to escape the dreadful security conditions, and they must return since those conditions no longer exist,” she went on to say.
“President Aoun has said that some countries opposed to the return of the displaced, and we wonder about the reasons behind such an objection,” Abdel Samad added.
“PM Diab believes the ministerial policy is a plan of action that defines our aspirations; it is not reproduced, and will in fact be a model for the governments to follow. This statement is the product of facts and studies, and does not meet any individual considerations,” she asserted.
Abdel Samad finally said that “the army-people-resistance clause was undisputed,” stressing that “the main confidence we seek is that of the people, and the Parliament is elected by the people.”
