We Are Still in Grace Period, Be Optimistic
Speaker Nabih Berri said from Baabda palace on Wednesday that government formation is still in grace period and urged Lebanese to be optimistic.
"Government formation is in grace period … Let us not forget that former cabinet formation took 52 days," Berri told reporters after holding his weekly meeting with President Michel Suleiman.
"Perhaps ten days are not enough," Berri said. "Be optimistic and you will find results."
He told reporters that he agreed with Premier-designate Saad Hariri about the need to keep consultations to form a new cabinet confidential.
