Berri: Waiving Shiite Minister was the Only Way Out

The House Speaker Nabih Berri said that none of his allies was informed in the form of solution that he proposed to form the government and that he consulted no body.
In his statement to the Lebanese newspaper "As-Safir", Berri clarified that "he took the initiative to waive the Shiite minister because it was the only way to save the country," adding that "the idea of waiving this bag for the benefit of Faisal Karami sparked in his mind in his way from Ain el Tineh to the Presidential Palace."

Pointing out that "if we did not take this step, things would have been stopped and complicated," Berri emphasized "I always repeated that the group concerned with the formation of the government is one team that shouldn't fight on the shares, and my action is consistent with this statement and translate it into a political reality. But if the case was a dispute between contradictory parties, I would have surely probed and stopped at every detail."
"The Karami family is a national home and we integrate with them in the same national line," Berri said.

Expressing his satisfaction with the formation because it is an entrance to the rescue, Bwerri commented on the name of his ministers by saying: "I gave a group of names to Mikati from which he who chose MP Ali Hassan Khalil and the Ambassador Adnan Mansour."
