No doubt this week will be decisive regarding the cabinet formation and its formula.
MTV has learned that PM-designate Tamam Salam will be receiving the outcome of negotiations between March 8 forces.
In upcoming hours, caretaker social affairs minister Wael Abou Faour will visit Msaytbeh.
Upon Faour's response Salam will take proper measures. The options are either a political fait accompli cabinet or a neutral one.
Intermediates of president Suleiman confirm that Salam's decision will be approved by the president.
But an inclusive cabinet lineup is likely to be established based the 8-8-8 formula, even if it is threatened to be collapsed due to the resignation of Aoun’s bloc and his allies.
The cabinet becomes a caretaker if third +1 of its members resigns, therefore Jumblatt will make the balance; if his ministers resigned once the decrees are issued then everything will return to square 1 such as parliamentary consultations.
On the other hand, if Jumblatt's ministers did not resign then the cabinet will be deemed as outgoing.
The ball now is in Salam's court, since all stances are clear and he is the one who will submit the appropriate lineup cabinet.
