Berri Demands 10+10+10 Cabinet Share

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri was quoted as saying that the cabinet balance can only be achieved through a 10+10+10 distribution of government posts.

 

Visitors quoted Berri as saying that if it turned out that the Arab initiative after the formation of a new government such as the president is given 6 ministers, the majority 14 and the opposition 10, “then this formula would be considered imbalance.”

 

He said such a formula would allow the majority March 14 together with the President “to take any decision” while it strips the opposition from taking decisions along with the head of state.

 

“The opposition will not accept that,” Berri was quoted as saying, adding that the cabinet balance “is based on a 10+10+10 government (share).”
