Government Under 3 Headlines; Privatization, Paris III, and Productivity
The leader of Change and Reform bloc Michel Aoun after meeting with PM Saad Hariri said that "the new government is consolidated by cooperation and national unity" considering that it stands under three headlines "privatization, Paris III, and productivity especially that the productive ministries are with us or with our allies; telecommunications, energy and agriculture".
Aoun announced that no one in the current government got what he expected as far as the portfolios are concerned. "It is not the end of the world if the Phalange Party got the social affairs ministry only," said Aoun in an attempt to encourage them to cooperate in the government and pointing out that his bloc wanted it amongst its shares of ministries.
Regarding the ministerial statement, Aoun stated that "the dialogues that are currently taking place represent all parties" and stressed on the necessity of highlighting the national unity in the statement calling everyone to stick to it.
"There are different inclinations inside the government which will incite arguments but positive ones at that. The existent battle is to find adequate solutions," he added.
Regarding the Energy ministry Michel Aoun revealed that they will implement interactive studies to reach a solution for this sector avoiding personal interests.
