إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Speaker Nabih Berri will hold the boycotting parliamentary blocs accountable for the failure to meet the needed quorum to hold next week's legislative session, reported the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat on Sunday.
Sources close to the speaker said: “The boycotting blocs will be held responsible for the failure to approve draft projects linked to Lebanon's financial situation.”
The legislative session is set for November 12 and 13, amid speculation over the potential boycott of the Lebanese Forces and Free Patriotic Movement.
The two blocs have voiced their objection to the failure to include the parliamentary electoral law on the session's agenda.
Media reports in recent weeks have warned that Lebanon is in danger of losing international loans and grants due to the paralysis of its state institutions, prompting Berri to call for a legislative session.
The Kuwaiti daily al-Anba reported on Sunday that 31 Christian MPs out of 64 will attend next week's session, which will “bolster its legality.”
