The media office of caretaker Prime Minister Najib Miqati issued the following statement: It seems that Minister of Energy and Water Walid Fayyad is experiencing a real crisis within his ministry, leading him to act inconsistently, which necessitates clarifying matters once again. Yesterday, following our statement in response to his filled-with-errors announcement, he called Prime Minister Miqati expressing his appreciation and gratitude for his cooperation during his ministerial duties. He also showed a desire to end the dispute and return to discussing the contentious issues calmly, without resorting to the media, and they agreed on a near date to continue the discussions.
However, this afternoon we were surprised by a new statement from the minister's office that reiterated the falsehoods and lies, even raising a challenge and a confrontational tone, which confirms a determination to gain vindication from actions acknowledged by the Lebanese. Meanwhile, the primary concern of the President is to secure electricity supply.
Last Saturday, Minister Fayyad contacted the President's team asking for calm, only to turn against this stance on Sunday. Today, he repeats the same behavior, this time with Prime Minister Miqati himself, raising the question: Is the Minister of Energy really the one who issued the statement and forgot or ignored the commitment he made to Prime Minister Miqati yesterday? Is he truly managing the affairs of the ministry? This question has become pressing after all these ambiguous behaviors. Enough with issuing fabricated statements. There is a connection to discussing the electricity file.
