Berri Postpones Legislative Session for 9th Time
Speaker Nabih Berri postponed on Tuesday for the 9th time a parliamentary session dedicated to tackling several controversial draft-laws over lack of quorum.
Berri set the new day to March 4.
Several parliamentary blocs are boycotting the session over a dispute with the speaker over its agenda, which included 45 articles.
Berri is insisting on keeping the 45 draft-laws on the agenda intact and had previously vowed to continue to call on MPs to a General Assembly meeting until the agenda is discussed.
Several blocs and caretaker Premier Najib Miqati argue that the parliament cannot convene under a resigned government.
