Chamoun: Nothing Remarkable about Achievements During Aoun's Term
Head of the National Liberals Party MP Dori Chamoun said on Wednesday there is “nothing remarkable” about the accomplishments made during the term of President Michel Aoun, as the President marked one year since assuming office.
“I can't see any thing outstanding that draws the attention,” he told the daily in an interview.
Noting that he “has not heard or read the President's speech,” he added “this a tenure like other tenures, things are going the way they do, and it could have been better," he said.
Chamoun's comments came after remarks made by Aoun during an interview with Lebanon's eight TV stations that marked one year since assuming the presidency.
Aoun pointed to a number of “achievements,” he said :“We have approved a state budget, succeeded at the diplomatic appointments and approved a new electoral law based on proportional representation. The elections will be held according to the new law that will achieve balance among the country's components.”
Aoun also pointed out to the army's battle against the Islamic State organization in the Lebanese mountains that led to their ouster. He also pointed out to the need for the judicial and security institutions to consolidate civil peace.”
