Bou Saab again suggests early parliamentary elections
Deputy Speaker Elias Bou Saab held talks Tuesday in Ain el-Tineh with Speaker Nabih Berri.
“I asked Speaker Berri about the solution (for the presidential crisis) should we fail to reach a solution (in September) and he reminded me that had we conducted these (French-proposed) consultations we would have finalized this juncture,” Bou Saab said after the meeting.
“After seven months of vacuum, we should have talked and consulted among each other to reach a solution,” he added.
“Today I reiterate that if we don’t manage to reach a solution after the expected attempt in September, we as MPs should seriously think of early parliamentary elections, because it is unacceptable for us as MPs to stand idly by for three years without electing a president,” Bou Saab went on to say.
