Sources from the "Progressive Socialist Party" reported that "two obstacles stand in the way of consultations between electoral sessions: the insistence of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri to lead the dialogue, which is justified, and the need for guarantees to avoid a breakdown in quorum from both sides, along with reliance on external pressure to facilitate the process." According to information, "the Socialist Party will meet with Berri and caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati next week after the Eid al-Adha holiday, and the Socialist Party is working to synchronize the invitation to the session with consultations." Regarding Bassil's movements, Socialist sources told MTV: "It was proper for Bassil to wait for the end of our tour to begin his activities, but he seems eager to isolate the 'Forces' and hold dialogue without them, positioning himself as the sole Maronite interlocutor at the table of the next mandate."
