Aoun: June 8 Parliamentary Session is Constitutional

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun announced on Tuesday that progress has been achieved in the government formation process, adding however that he does not understand the reasons for the ongoing delay in the formation.

He said after the movement’s weekly meeting: “I have stated before that there is a conspiracy to obstruct the authority in Lebanon.”

“The obstruction in the formation is caused by the highest powers and not from us,” he stressed.

Addressing Wednesday’s parliamentary session, Aoun said: “Tomorrow’s session is a hundred percent constitutional.”

“The June 8 parliamentary session is constitutional and all MPs are obligated to attend it. No one has the right to obstruct it,” the MP emphasized.

The March 14 camp has criticized Speaker Nabih Berri’s call to hold a parliament session, saying that it aims to substitute government’s executive role.
