Administrative and not Political Crisis Gripping Lebanon
President Michel Suleiman said Wednesday that the cabinet issue should be called an administrative more than a political crisis and discussion is now constrained to one or two portfolios.
"Political crises happen in most countries but they don”t disrupt the democratic system," Suleiman told participants of the Saudi-Lebanese forum headed by the Saudi trade and industry minister who visited him at Baabda palace.
"It is better to call the current cabinet issue in Lebanon an administrative more than a political crisis particularly that everyone agreed on its shape and the number of essential portfolios in it," the president said.
"Discussion is now constrained to one or two portfolios," he added.
