Aoun Begins Talks with MPs over Govt. Formation Hurdles

W300

President Michel Aoun on Monday launched two-day consultations with the representatives of the country's parliamentary blocs, hours after a key meeting with Prime Minister-designate Mustafa Adib.

The MPs met Monday by Aoun were Jebran Bassil of the Strong Lebanon bloc, Samir al-Jisr of the al-Mustaqbal bloc, Faisal Karami of the Consultative Gathering bloc, Farid al-Khazen of the National Bloc and Asaad Hardan of the Social National bloc.

The president will meet with representatives of the rest of the blocs on Tuesday morning.

Premier-in-waiting Mustafa Adib "did not present a line-up" during Monday's meeting at the presidential palace, said a source at the president's office.

"Developments over the past two days necessitated more negotiations," the same source said, adding that Aoun and Adib would meet again when consultations were completed.

Excuse me, but could you please answer a simple question. Who was given the task of forming the next Lebanese government, Adib or Aoun?

The constitution says the PM Designate forms the government after consulting with the presidency.
Quit trying to put a wedge between the Lebanese, we have enough problems without you or anyone adding to them.

Philip is not driving a wedge between Lebanese. It is a legitimate question. What Aoun is doing is unconstitutional and provocative. He is inciting the MPS by asking them "How do you feel about the PM forming a government and naming ministers without referring to you".

Maybe so and yet the Taef constitution gave him the right of refusal, no?
