The Government formation [discussions and updates]
 

What do you think about the new government? how many seats should FPM and the opposition take if they decided to participate?
Till now we only know the identity of the Prime Minister...

It depends on how many ministers will be in the new government ...
Let us say it will be 30 ministers then the opposition should have at least 10 ministers ...

Three Weeks Passed since the last update and no government yet.
I dont Know What Mr. Hariri Is doing or what he is not doing.
But What I know that the result wont be different from 2005 and we are going through the same road.

blame KSA, rou2 la yetef2o KSA with USA 3al 7koumeh its not easy :p

سليمان فرنجية: لا حكومة دون الثلث الضامن

Hariri apologized because he wasn't able to form the government. why naming him again?? when someone apologize it means he failed, naming a failed man again is stupidity itself.. if he wasn't able to form it for more than 70 days, how come he form it in the near future !?

In addition to that, shou ma ba2a fi gheir Saad Hariri bel balad !!!!?:inno:

LOL

These people are passing time.
It seems the Holy Spirit of "king Fahed" didn't give orders to the government formation.

men 3anjar la 3awkar la 2raytem w hala2 lal riyad

Tfeh!!!

what a shame

this is obvious lol,

The Opposition told Hariri two months to form the government on his own if he is able to do that.

It seems Hariri has understood the game and he fall between two choices,

the first one he don't want to step back bcuz this will affect the American Saudi agenda.

The second one is that Hariri knows very well, that taking such decision in forming the government without the full approval of the opposition will lead to something similar to 7 may, but this time, KSA and USA will pick him along with Geagea and 14 7jar from the Mediteranian see, they will not have time to leave their houses.
