Opposition Either Takes Part in Cabinet as “a Whole” or Doesn”t
MP Talal Arslan has said the opposition will either participate as a "whole entity" in a future government or it stays out.
"Lebanon cannot be governed by the rule of majority and minority. It can only be governed on the basis of balance, national consensus and higher national interest, which is embodied in partnership not monopoly," he said Saturday night at a celebratory dinner.
He said the opposition was "a whole entity. It either takes part in the government as such or it doesn”t. There are no under the table or over the table tradeoffs."
While his bloc did not nominate a prime minister, Arslan congratulated Saad Hariri for his designation to the premiership.
