Former President Michel Suleiman on Tuesday severely criticized the Free Patriotic Movement and Hizbullah without naming them for seeking to “paralyze” the cabinet and dragging the war in neighboring Syria to Lebanon.
“It is not acceptable to impose conditions on the cabinet,” Suleiman said following talks with a delegation from al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc at his residence in Yarze.
The delegation was headed by MP Ahmed Fatfat and the meeting was attended by Defense Minister Samir Moqbel.
Suleiman, who now heads the so-called Consultative Gathering that brings together Kataeb leader Amin Gemayel and several cabinet ministers, described the current paralysis of the government as “very dangerous.”
FPM officials have been calling on the appointment of high-ranking military and security officials before discussing any other issue in the cabinet.
