Reports: No-one Consulted the Shiite Duo over Cabinet Session
Prime Minister Najib Miqati hasn’t contacted the Shiite Duo to see whether they would attend a Cabinet session dedicated to discussing the 2022 draft state budget, Shiite Duo sources said.
The sources told al-Joumhouriya newspaper, in remarks published Wednesday, that neither Miqati nor any other party has contacted the Shiite Duo concerning their stand on a Cabinet session that Miqati said he will call.
A week ago, after meeting with President Michel Aoun, Miqati had stated from Baabda that “Cabinet will be asked to convene within two days.”
Media outlets said back then that, during the meeting, Aoun and Miqati had held a call with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri to see where the Shiite Duo stands.
“It was nothing but a whirlwind by the media,” the Shiite Duo sources said.
