The Lebanese Prime Minister-designate, Mustafa Adib, began today, Wednesday, non-binding consultations with the parliamentary blocs.
In an effort to form a government, France and other countries, to support it, stipulate that it implement urgent reforms to extricate Lebanon from its crisis, which was exacerbated by the Beirut port explosion.
At the beginning of these consultations, Adeeb (48 years) met Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, representatives of the Future Bloc, Development and Liberation Bloc, Progressive Socialist, and former Prime Minister Tammam Salam.
In these meetings, the Prime Minister-designate will hear the views of MPs regarding their perceptions of the government and its ministerial statement.
Several Lebanese parties and parliamentary blocs announced that with the formation of a government of specialists, they would accelerate the implementation of the required reforms, and investigations into the port explosion, which increased popular discontent with the political class in Lebanon.
Mustafa Adeeb had said, shortly after he was assigned on Monday by President Michel Aoun to form a new government, that he hoped to form it as soon as possible, hoping that all political forces would contribute to facilitating his mission.
After the resignation of Prime Minister Hassan Diab as a result of the repercussions of the Beirut port explosion, which left 190 people dead and material losses estimated at no less than $ 8 billion, Lebanese political forces agreed to assign Adeeb to form the next government.
Adeeb has been Lebanon's ambassador to Germany since 2013, and before that, he was the advisor and director of the office of former Prime Minister Najib Mikati, a figure unknown to the Lebanese.
