Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblatt made several statements regarding the current political situation that has crippled the country, during a tour to a number of Druze religious figures, accompanied by MPs Akram Sheayyeb and Faysal Sayegh.
Jumblatt pointed out that the country is going through exceptional and horrific circumstances and it seems that there is no solution on the horizon, as the solution won't be external.
"If some high-ranking politicians think the solution will come from outside, it won't. The solution must be shaped internally, and settlement is not a stigma in politics for the benefit of the nation," former MP went on.
"I don't have new data indicating a settlement and the possibility of curbing this economic and financial collapse," he added, warning that the coming days are very difficult.
Commenting on the health situation, Jumblatt praised the performance of the caretaker health minister, Hamad Hassan, and the caretaker foreign minister, Zeina Akar, for their performance amid a paralyzed caretaker government because there is a decision to paralyze it.
"Even the caretaker government can do its job, the first of which is the budget, but there are those who do not allow Hassan Diab to work," Jumblatt stressed, considering that there are necessities of national, health and food security, more important than all these debates.
Finally, he urged politicians to make a compromise and form a government that would stop the collapse so that it could confront the World Bank and international institutions to take conditional loans, not for free.
