LF, FPM to boycott legislative session over electoral law issue

Share:

Lebanese ParliamentThe 2 rival Christian parties , The Lebanese Forces and Free Patriotic Movement  said on Wednesday they will adhere to their “rejection to attend any parliament legislative session that does not have the electoral law on its agenda, ”    An Nahar daily reported.

FPM MP Ibrahim Kanaan told al-Joumhouria newspaper: “The electoral law should be a top priority, because it will introduce a radical solution to the political crisis we are enduring and which we have been suffering from for 15 years.”

“The presidential vacuum, extension of the term of parliament, and the paralysis at constitutional institutions are evidence of the need to exert all efforts to adopt a new electoral law,” he explained.

Meanwhile, a lawmaker from the March 14 camp expressed his conviction that Speaker Nabih Berri will not call for a session without ensuring that all members of the parliament will attend.

The parliament bureau had convened on Tuesday and it approved 40 articles to include on the agenda of a legislative session, which has been scheduled for November 12 and 13.

Its agenda includes the draft-law on naturalization of Lebanese expatriates and the referral of mobile phone revenues to municipalities.

The LF and FPM had reached an agreement last month on the naturalization draft-law.

Kanaan hoped that the law would be adopted during the legislative session.

“We hope that this national demand would be the demand of all parliamentary blocs,” he added.

Lebanese Forces MP Fadi Karam questioned the objections to the Christian demand  of having the electoral law on the  agenda of the parliament session  .

He asked via his twitter account : “What the aim behind the rejection of our demand”

          4. Barry and doron, amongst others, are right when they accuse you of being obsessed with Jews and Sunnis.
            At least I can rest assured that your hate will consume you.
            Every single article, you turn it into “Jew this and Sunni that”.

            My question is, why did you disgusting bigots run to the west when your home is Iran??

    THIS ABOUT ALL THE LEBANESE POLITICIANS IN LEBANON AT THIS TIME THEY SHOULD ALL RESIN BECAUSE THEY HAVE FAILED TO DO THERE JOB , THE LEBANESE PEOPLE SHOULD ELECT NEW PEOPLE , IN THE MEAN TIME THE ARMY CHIEF ME KAHAWJJI SHOULD TAKE ACHARGE AS A COMMADER IN CHIEF AND TEMPORARY PRESIDENT UNTIL A NEW PRESIDENT IS ELECTED
    IS,NT WHAT THE LEBANEESE CONSTITUTION STATES INCASE OF VACUM , THE COUNTRY IS PARALYSED HAS TOO MANY PROBLEMS , POLITICIANS FAILED TO DO THERE JOB ,SHOULD BE FIRED AND PROSECUTED , THEY HAVE DECIEVED THE LEBANEESE PEOPLE

    1. We have a ready for action person for president by the name of Gen. M. Aoun, GLORY. The majority of women support him who can convince their husbands/ boyfriends to support him as well. After all women sit on the most desirable thing for men. BTW he is the de facto president.

        I really hope it cools off next week … I mean COOL ….

        1. It is 75 deg today and 78 tomorrow … I hope you forget about by January….hehe. I just write facts, most people like to be visionary.

          1. 5thDrawer Avatar

            Fact … General Monkey Aoun was a ‘battle field’ promotion … and he left the battle.
            (checking fans again … the warm is good .. for now.)

        Your general may be ready , but the country isn’t ready for him.
        It takes 2 to Tango.
        If you have access to the general tell him the time has come for him to retire from politics and enjoy his grand kids . I think the country will be so much better off once he quits politics

        1. Yes I do have semi direct access to our GREAT. Look even Geagea is coming around to believe in him. I think our Maghweer General is being groomed to be the president. He’s up here in Boston putting his demands down to serve Lebanon. Either our way or the highway. And BTW what do you mean by country want him. Sunnis are the only people do want him to be a president and you know what they are meaningless.

            Boston isn’t in Lebanon and so isn’t tozzton.

          2. “Sunnis are the only people do want him to be a president and you know what they are meaningless.”

            You are the epitome of bigotry.

          3. And may I add, the double standards by some is evident. Free didn’t say anything as bad as this but yet some attacked him and the Koran.
            But when you bark something as disgusting as that, those very same people become deaf dumb and blind.

          4. That is the truth. Look around you and find me a meaningful sunni society. Nothing

            You have just ruined the chances of the Maghweer General.
            Hezbollah will automatically blacklist him for being groomed in the US to become a Lebanese president.
            You have also ruined your chances for the semi access to the GREAT.
            Sorry , I don’t envy your position .
            Samir or Sami may be your only salvation

          6. Just curious, how did you know my name???

          7. 5thDrawer Avatar

            ‘Cheers’ … where everybody knows your name …. hehehe

          8. Sami maybe. But Samir !!! no criminals are allowed to be presidents. Criminals should be in jail.

            WELL THERE’S A POINT … The ONLY Guy with the balls to stand up and Confess in that Wonderful Confessional Democracy, was also the ONLY GUY with the balls to put up a hand right away and say ‘I’ll run for Pres.’ (most dangerous job in Liban) AND FOR THAT, no-one wants him, BUT AOUNIE says: ‘Ohhh.. Nastyrallah thinks I should be ‘crowned’ as Pres., … and in my innocence. I’d accept. Just do it.’

          10. So why are you still “free”?

          11. 5thDrawer Avatar

            hope you’re not sneaking him and Rai into Canada from there … damn close to Ottawa and Montreal, that Boston …

        2. But would his grandkids enjoy him, it does take two to tango 😛

            I am so sorry to overlook such an important point.
            I guess knowing how smart is the new generation , I think there is no tango there either
            Back to square one.
            His future is in the bunker with his buddy with whom he signed the MOA.

        I think your sitting on the generals most undesirable thing, and you’ve convinced yourself that your his DeFazio.

      4. Ready for action, like ready to flee in his pyjamas.

        1. Yes he lost a battle but not the war. Sunnis (your people) supported the occupiers back then specifically Hariri. He Hariri would still be alive if Sunnis did not stab the Lebanese army led by the Great back then. Your People are nothing but just bend over-ers.

          1. Unlike you, I’m not a bigot. So I won’t denigrate a whole group of people coz of your or certain others disgusting bigotry. But I have to thank you for exposing, further, the bigotry of you and certain others on here.
            You are truly vile.

  3. The answer to question Mr Karam is the Sunni dominated party FUTURE will be demolished. They might get hand full of MPs the next election and that is exactly why Gen. Shamel Roukoos shall be the president.
