Berri Ends Argument in Parliament by Asking FPM’s Abi Khalil to ‘Sit Down’
An argument occurred between Amal’s MP Ali Hassan Khalil and Free Patriotic Movement’s MP Cesar Abi Khalil during a parliamentary session Thursday.
Khalil accused President Michel Aoun of violating the constitution for failing to call for parliamentary by-elections to fill the empty parliamentary seats.
The accusation angered Abi Khalil who said the constitution criminalizes “offending” the President.
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri intervened defending Khalil by saying “no one has offended the President,” and “no one is more keen on the presidency’s position than me.”
“Relax,” he said, asking Abi Khalil to sit down.
