MP Nabil Nicolas of the Change and Reform bloc said he had information from inside the Palace of Justice on the preparation for judicial appointments, which former President Emile Lahoud refused to sign based on the distribution of Christian positions, and particularly Maronite seats due to interference of the Future Movement.

"It appears that the formation is based on the distribution of quotas between supporters of the Future Movement and the forces following it," he added.

Nicolas warned against making any appointments before the formation of a national unity government.
