Mikati, allies to boycott Berri’s parliament session

Share:

Prime minister-designate Najib Mikati , and his two allies MPs Mohammad Safadi, Ahmad Karami have decided to boycott the parliament session that Speaker Nabih Berri called for next week, National News Agency reported on Friday.

The MPs’ decision is based on their conviction that divisions must not be widened between the Lebanese people, the NNA also said, adding that their decision aims “to maintain the role of institutions.”

This comes after LBC reported that MP Walid Jumblatt and his bloc decided to boycott the parliamentary session

Mikati, Safadi and Karami voiced the importance of joining efforts to speed up cabinet formation.

Speaker Nabih Berri called for the session in order to bypass the caretaker cabinet, despite strong opposition by some parties.

Session condemned

Deputy Speaker Farid Makari and some members of the Parliament Bureau Committee including MP Ahmed Fatfat, Marwan Hamadeh, Antoine Zahra, and Serge Toursakissian condemned on Thursday Berri’s decision to hold a parliament session on June 8, labeling it as “a blow to democratic parliamentary practices in Lebanon.”

“His decision violates the privileges of the committee and parliament’s internal system in that he devised next week’s schedule by himself, ” they said in a statement.

“The committee therefore believes that the schedule that was distributed today at parliament has no legal grounds,” the statement added.

“Such practices fuel our conviction that the June 8 session is a violation of parliamentary norms and the Lebanese constitution,” the statement said.

    Official March 8 press release; As reported in our last press release Syrian Revolution 2011: A massacre in Hama, over 50 killed today,
    reports have emerged that the forces behind the cabinet delay are linked to Cobra Commander who fled from Syria and is now in Lebanon hiding in Harriris house. Speaker Berri called for the parliamentary session so this matter could be cleared. March 8 is against any foreign interference in Lebanon especially  from Cobra Commander who is leader of a radical Sunni militia with ties to Osama Bin Laden called Cobra. HA spokes person MP Musawi recently said “If Cobra Commander thinks he can take away our Arms, Our freedom to use those Arms internally and claim its for external defensive purposes only and the Lebanese we kill are spies and Israeli collaborators WE WILL CUT HIS HAND OFF AND GO TO WAR WITH THE REST OF LEBANON AND KILL YOU ALL!!! Like I said the weapons are to be used against Israel only unless you f—-c-k around and make us use them on you” HA maintains is for Lebanese freedom and independence and Walayat al Fakih witch will take away all those freedoms.
    Cobra Commander must realize that since our divine victory in 2006 we have grown stronger and have weapons far more advanced than before. No army not even Cobra can take our weapons away and the divine victory proved that with 1200 people dead, a few billion dollars in damage and 500,000 homeless people and we still have our weapons because of our divine victory. Reports have all emerged that Megatron leader of the banned disepticon movement has escaped from prison and is now hiding in north Lebanon. The disepticons are a radical salafist movement who have been implicated in attacks on Syrian protesters killing all 1100 people that have died in Syria since the so called revolt started. Megatron may be in Lebanon to recruit fresh troops then head back into Syria so he can keep up his killing spree. Syria and its people have requested aid from optumis prime and his auto bots.
