Caretaker Public Health Minister, Ghassan Hasbani, ruled out Saturday the possibility of forming a government that excludes a team the size of the Lebanese Forces.
During an interview, Hasbani said, "No team has the right to take advantage of concessions for partnership made by the other team," pointing to the various contributions by the Lebanese Forces throughout the past period.
"Whenever the LF ministers talk about restoring confidence, they are accused of obstruction," he added.
Hasbani noted that the LF ministers suffered from various obstacles placed in their path throughout the past year and a half, which narrowed their work scope.
"Proper political action must be on the cabinet table and under Parliament's rooftop, with no dossiers being passed from under the table," asserted Hasbani.
"We are building partnerships, not deals!" he exclaimed.
Hasbani stressed that "the Lebanese Forces Party believes in the State, and wishes to transparently participate in real work for productivity and fighting corruption in the country."
