Report: Street Action Not Ruled out to Confront Legislative Session Deadlock
Political tensions have increased in recent days over the upcoming legislative session as various parties struggle to agree on its agenda and gather the required quorum to hold it, reported daily An Nahar on Tuesday.
A prominent figure told the daily that the situation has reached such a point that “street action has not been ruled out over the possible absence of Christian blocs from the session.”
The protests may take place on Thursday before, after, or while the session is underway.
Christian parliamentary sources are counting on Mustaqbal Movement chief MP Saad Hariri to create a breakthrough in the dispute, reported An Nahar.
The legislative session is scheduled for November 12 and 13 amid a boycott of the Christian Kataeb Party over the ongoing presidential vacuum.
The Christian LF and FPM parties are unlikely to attend either over the failure to include the parliamentary electoral law on the session's agenda.
