Bkirki Reportedly Backs Aoun and Bassil's Call for 'Unified Standards'
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi and Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil agreed in their meeting on Friday on the need for “unified standards” in the government formation process, Bkirki sources said.
“The unity of standards requires equality between all political parties and resorting to the constitution, without fabricating new norms or taking previous norms as an excuse,” the sources told al-Jadeed TV.
“Double standards are unacceptable in the formation process, which means that it is unacceptable to request lists of (candidates’) names from some blocs but not from others,” the sources added.
Both President Michel Aoun and Bassil have called on Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri to adopt “unified standards” in the process of picking ministers for the new government.

He's worried that he might get the sahsouh

Did not hear him mention unified standards when his aounis formed a one sided government with hezbollah and named mikati as prime minister who only represented himself at the time.
Hypocrite!

Rahi is a disgrace. Aoun and Bassil should be rotting in prison if there is any self respect left in this country. Hizbollah is an occupation army and unless it is disarmed and its leaders brought to trial for their crimes, Lebanon has no hope. Everything else is a waste of time and a deeper hole in Hell.
