Progressive Socialist Party leader, Walid Jumblatt, on Tuesday warned of delaying the formation of the new government, stressing that the economic crisis would only aggravate amid the absence of a Cabinet.

Interviewed by Annahar daily, Jumblatt considered that there were efforts to create a non-existing Druze issue.

“If that is the case, we better deal with the new government the same way we did with its predecessor,” he said.

Moreover, Jumblatt indicated that there was no contact between him and PM-designate Saad Hariri.
