Samad Reiterates Call for Consultative Gathering’s Representation
MP Jihad al-Samad of the pro-Hizbullah Consultative Gathering, blamed Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri for what he described as “flaw” in the government formation process, and reiterated demands to be represented in the government .
“Hariri bears the responsibility of that flaw in the formation process because he refuses to meet with the Consultative Gathering MPs. Instead he prefered to go to Paris for consultations,” Samad told VDL radio (93.3).
He was referring to Hariri’s reported “meetings” last week in Paris with Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil and Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea.
Samad, an MP of a new grouping of six Sunni MPs which has insisted on getting a seat in the new government, said the group should be given a share as “part of the Sunni representation in a national unity government.”
Samad said the Consultative Gathering refuses a call that allows them to name a Sunni MP of President Michel Aoun’s share, or from Hariri’s share.
