A big shock.. This is what Berri revealed about government consultations

Al Arabiya channel sources reported today, Monday, that Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and Hezbollah are facing two options. The first is to join the ranks of supporters of Prime Minister-designate Nawaf Salam, even without naming him for the presidency and to participate in the first government of the era, while the second is to turn to the opposition and not Nominate any of the faces affiliated with the duo, provided that Presidents Aoun and Salam take over Choosing non-provocative Shiite names to be ministers in the government.

If the duo takes the decision to go to the opposition, this will be the first time since their first participation in parliamentary life in 1992 until today, according to Al Arabiya.

Go to the opposition

The information cited by Hezbollah suggests, firstly, that the predominant trend is to go to the opposition, and this is what was reflected by the head of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc, MP Muhammad Raad, in his speech at the Republican Palace.

If Raad expressed his party’s anger and the lack of commitment by Sunni and Christian blocs and representatives to nominate President Najib Mikati to form the government, then the Speaker of Parliament does not hide a reproach towards his old friend, former head of the Progressive Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, even without naming him, as he did not commit to Mikati, who did not agree with him. He falls short with the Progressive Party throughout his time in government.

Berri is quoted here (who appeared very upset in his meeting with President Aoun), where he merely said: This is not what we agreed on, and we refuse to accept the fait accompli. (Arabiya.net)
