MP Hashem says Berri's dialogue initiative 'frozen'
Speaker Nabih Berri has “frozen” his presidential dialogue initiative and the ball now is in the court of those who rejected it, MP Qassem Hashem of Berri’s bloc said on Tuesday.
Asked whether Berri is willing to discuss the nomination of General Security acting chief Elias Bayssari, Hashem said: “Speaker Berri is clear in his proposals and he has supported the nomination of a certain candidate (Suleiman Franjieh).”
“The situation that we have reached requires a discussion without conditions and to put the names up for discussion according to an agreed-on specifications and vision,” Hashem added.
