The New Cabinet - Under Construction

Lately, nothing is being solved in Lebanon easily. Every single politician is blaming the other side for blocking the formation of the cabinet. On a daily basis we saw attacks on General Aoun by the February 14 media. In my opinion, this is politics and blocs should demand their rights which is not considered as blocking anything.

The Change and Reform bloc backed-off their demand for the finance ministry and they will be getting public works, telecommunications, agriculture, power and the seat of vice premier. Hezballah will be getting 3 ministries (labor, youth and sports and a minister without portfolio) but as I heard, 2 of them will be given to a non-Hezballah minister inside the opposition. Amal will be getting 3 ministries (foreign, health and industry). This way, the opposition’s 11 ministries have been known but the cabinet is not formed. Can we now blame February 14 alliance for blocking the formation of the cabinet?

The problems in their alliance is not simple but I won’t consider it as blocking the formation of the government even though they could have agreed about it during the time negotiation was being done with the opposition.
On May 23, I wrote a thread in LebSpy about the problem that February 14 alliance will be facing and many people ignored the thread. Now, we’re in the same problem. How many Christian ministers will Future Movement get? What about the Lebanese Forces? Qornet Shehwan? Progressive Socialist Party?

Today, Geagea said the Lebanese Forces and Qornet Shehwan would be represented in the new cabinet in line with their real popularity and role. So with a small calculation considering each have 6 MPs in the parliament, each will be getting 1.4 ministers. So I suppose; Lebanese Forces, Kataeb and Qornet Shehwan would get 1 each leaving 1 Christian ministry (most probably the refugee ministry) for PSP and the rest (4 Christian ministries) for Future Movement.
The question is will Geagea be satisfied with 1 ministry and consider that his real size? (as he claimed in his interview today).
