"الجميل يتبرّع براتبه لعائلات شهداء الجيش" رفضاً للتمديد النيابي

Excellent gesture from Sami Gemayel. I hope all MPs will follow suit.

good move from sami gemayel.

Do you have any information as to why I was banned?

The FPM MPs should resign immediately and stop embarrassing themselves. They are part of this government that failed to prepare for the elections. The FPM had every chance to object inside the cabinet rather than on public forums.

Others talk... He acts!

Impressed !!! Good on you Sami. He shows by giving up his salary to the army families he is an Honorable Man and most important knows what DIGNITY means. But...but and as Aristotle said: One swallow doesn't make a summer

Great Publicity stunt from the part of Sami Gemayel. This comes at a time of growing serious public uproar against the "illegal" extension of the the mandate of 128 deputies, and Sami Gemayel's recent move comes nothing short of Public relations campaign just in order to improve his political image among the people in this critical juncture.

since all parliamentaries renew for themselves without a legal mandate from the people all of them should not be paid , let them work for free
god bless democracy (power to the people )

well said southern

Great work!
السياسه بعد نظر، أخلاق وضمير !!!

if FPMers and kataeb find the extension unconstitutionnal and illegal then the only thing to do to show their honesty is resign! not play the hypocrites! how can they be part of something they claim to be illegal? LOL

The comments on this story are a prime example of what's wrong with the Lebanese population when it comes to politics. Regardless of your political association and belief, Sami's decision should be regarded as a positive initiative. Instead, we see remarks about his allegiance, his motives and so on.

We often blame the political leaders for all the problems we are in. Sadly, it seems like the blindness with witch some people follow certain political movements often makes them more extreme than the movements themselves.

All FPM officials should be doing the same as Gemayel, that's if they're really against extension. But of course, they're not, they just boycott knowing they can't change the outcome of the vote
