Salam gives confidence to Cabinet: Let us hope for achievement of ministerial statement objectives

Former Prime Minister, Tammam Salam, hoped on Tuesday that the government would succeed in achieving the goals of the ministerial statement, and in saving Lebanon from regression. 

Expressing confidence in the new government, Salam criticized the delay in forming the government and the unprecedented deterioration in political discourse.

He finally said that the reforms would not succeed, unless corruption was eradicated, calling for the activation of control bodies and to remove any power that politicians might have over the judiciary.
