slammed the new majority's failure to form a new government, saying that the PSP and National Struggle Front can no longer cover up the vacuum it has caused.
He said in his weekly editorial in the PSP-affiliated al-Anbaa magazine: "The new majority has failed miserably in forming a new government."
"The new majority had unanimously agreed to appoint Prime Minister-designate Najib Miqati to his position and he has fulfilled most of its political demands," he continued.
"Why has it therefore set so many obstacles in his mission despite all the political and economic problems Leb is enduring?" he asked.
"The PSP and National Struggle Front refuse to get dragged into the game of distributing portfolios that are obstructing the government formation," he added.
"The country's interest cannot be served through this side or that acquiring a certain portfolio, but it is achieved through overcoming petty interests and heading towards a new reality," the MP stressed.
Jumblat noted: "It turned out that the new majority is incapable of accomplishing such a reality given its current and endless division."
"The PSP seeks to protect Leb's stability and peace and we can no longer cover up the actions of some sides who only seek their direct interests as doing so will only lead to Leb's downfall," he stated.
