A statement from the media office of caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati has been issued, indicating that Prime Minister Mikati considers the ready-made positions stated today from the presidential palace platform unveiled, without a doubt, the true reasons for the obstruction of the government formation process and what is being planned by some close to the President of the Republic.
The Prime Minister expresses surprise at the use of the presidential platform, which is supposed to rise above sectarian considerations, to issue statements that inflame the situation instead of forming a common word to unite the Lebanese. In any case, he continues, what was said will not in any way hinder his efforts to form the new government, and he is once again waiting to continue discussions with the President of the Republic regarding the draft government he presented on June 29.
