Progressive Socialist Party leader ex-MP Walid Jumblat held talks Sunday with Speaker Nabih Berri and addressed a new jab at Prime Minister Saad Hariri despite the latest "pacification" between them.

"I heard PM Hariri's remarks in Dubai about reform, which is a great thing. We all support reform but the main topic in reform should be electricity and the additional treasury loan that has been requested for electricity is the wrong gateway towards reform," Jumblat said after the meeting in Ain el-Tineh.

"Speaker Berri is a pillar in the settlement and all things and he is the main partner in everything," Jumblat added.

Jumblat Tells Hariri Electricity Loan is 'Not Reform'

Jumblatt wants reform yet he is opposed to privatization. The state has proven its failure in providing essential services to the people of Lebanon. These services can only be reformed through privatization under a privatization regulatory board.

This man is weird.....
