Harb”s Final Decision on Labor Portfolio Will be Annoucned After Cabinet Lineup
MP Boutros Harb is no longer an obstacle in the Cabinet formation. "The Labor portfolio is in good hands. My final stance, though, will be announced after the government is formed," said MP Harb after meeting with March 14 bloc on Monday.
Harb vowed he would never back away from his responsibilities alleging that he "never realized the damage I caused when I refrained from participating in the government."
His declarations came immediately after a meeting with March 14 bloc headed by MP George Adwan. Both looked satisfied with the outcome of the meeting. MP Adwan assured that the "labor suffered to form the government is not a battle of portfolios". A witness to that is his announcement that "March 14 bloc will hold one project in the government".
MP Adwan said that the sacrifices made do not necessarily mean concessions. "We trust our institutions to Boutros Harb," he added.
Head of the March 14 bloc concluded the speech with naming Boutros Harb for the Labor Portfolio. He pinpointed that the people”s representatives in the government have a responsibility towards protecting everyone.
