Berri: I Will Intervene in Govt. Dispute at Appropriate Time
Speaker Nabih Berri announced that the AMAL Movement ministers will take “the appropriate stand that will serve the Lebanese people” regarding the various pending issues in Lebanon, reported the daily An Nahar on Wednesday.
He told the daily: “I will not intervene in the dispute, but I will wait a week or two before I make my stand.”
He had informed his visitors on Tuesday that he will “distance himself” from the ongoing dispute, reported As Safir newspaper on Wednesday.
“I have no personal problem with Prime Minister Najib Miqati. Our lack of contact is not a cause for speculation,” stressed the speaker.
The ongoing dispute in government centers on the appointment of high-ranking civil servants, as well as the electricity file, where Miqati and the Free Patriotic Movement are locked in a dispute over how to meet Lebanon’s energy needs.
