President Michel Aoun sees that Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri is “confused” in handling the issue of the cabinet formation. The president’s visitors told Asharq Al-Awsat on Sunday that Aoun was not interfering in Hariri’s mission, but he had asked the PM-designate only two things: First, to adopt unified norms in the cabinet formation and, second, keep no party outside the process. Aoun’s visitors denied the presence of any problem between the two men. “I like him very much,” Aoun was quoted as saying when speaking about Hariri. “Even when we had disputes in the past, I did not target him at the personal level and we have been in continuous touch,” the president said. Aoun explained that in politics, he had no enemies. Asked whether he was discussing withdrawing the designation of Hariri from forming a government, he was quoted as saying that he does not currently wish to discuss the matter. “A period of five to six months might be acceptable to form the cabinet. However, we cannot leave the country without a government for a longer time. There are jurisprudences in this regard,” the sources said. The president also expressed surprise at the demands of some Lebanese politicians who are trying to take more than their fair share in the government formation. Visitors quoted Aoun as saying that the last parliamentary elections had revealed the size of each party, adding that “the main problem is that some officials want to take more than the size of their actual representation at the expense of others.”
