Strong Lebanon renews call on Hariri to communicate with President: To keep abreast of changes in region and world, preserve Lebanon's unity and stability 19 Jan 2021 Lebanon - The "Strong Lebanon" parliamentary bloc hoped, in a statement following its periodic meeting headed by MP Gebran Bassil, that "the time has come and conditions are complete to form the long-awaited government," calling upon PM-designate Saad Hariri to end the stalemate and communicate with the President of the Republic to form the promised reform government in accordance with the principles of the Charter and the rules of the constitution. Conferees called on the bloc to "keep abreast of the changes taking place in the Middle East and the world in a way that preserves Lebanon, its unity and its stability," noting that "the Lebanese must formulate unified national positions from the major entitlements to ensure that the country is spared any turmoil as a result of divisions." They stressed "the necessity of giving priority to reform and anti-corruption laws, and the need to quickly pass them at the House of Representatives, especially the laws related to the funds and deposits of the Lebanese people and the laws for controlling transfers abroad (capital control), the recovery of money transferred and smuggled abroad, the recovery of looted funds, and the disclosure of the accounts and properties of officials and public servants." |
