Bassil warns cabinet session to 'undermine balances, understandings'
Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil on Tuesday warned that a caretaker cabinet session scheduled for Wednesday will “violate the constitution and the Pact,” deepen the national rift and undermine balances and understandings.”
He added, in a video posted online, that a “constitutional” solution for passing decrees needed to purchase fuel for electricity would be through so-called “roaming decrees” signed by all ministers.
The electricity file will top the agenda of Wednesday’s session and Hezbollah has voiced readiness to attend a session exclusively dedicated to electricity.
The FPM had boycotted a December 5 session and has repeatedly warned against convening the caretaker cabinet amid an ongoing presidential vacuum.
Mikati, Hezbollah and the other government components have meanwhile argued that some cabinet sessions are necessary to address urgent matters.
