Berri: Pleased with Hariri’s Speech

Speaker Nabih Berri was pleased with Prime Minister Saad Hariri's speech during a rally to mark his father's assassination anniversary. But they were unhappy with statements given by Hariri's allies.

Berri expressed satisfaction at the contents of Hariri's speech. 

Berri expressed satisfaction at the content of Hariri's speech, dubbing Hariri's statement as "good and positive, particularity in terms of the part which stressed on permanent consensus in Lebanon." 

Jumblat, in turn, did not waste time listening to speeches by Hariri's partners. 

"I paid attention to Hariri's speech, but I did not have time to listen to the other speeches," Jumblat said in remarks published by several Beirut newspapers. 

Berri criticized some of the festivities that accompanied "celebrations to commemorate the martyrdom" of Hariri.
