البرلمان يقر التمديد حتى حزيران 2017 … والحراك المدني يعتصم بوسط بيروت

why since 2005 we do not have an electoral law ??
the people who hindered and blocked the opportunity to have a decent based on proportionality electoral law (stipulated in taef accord )
are the culprit and should be hangeg for treason
god bless democracy

Dear Naharnet Staff,

I strongly urge the Naharnet staff to officially denounce the extension of the 128 deputies, and also more importantly not to recognize their self extended mandate. The political elites in Lebanon have to be stopped before it is too late.

Kind Regards.

If these groups mean what they are saying, simple Resign. ... or you know what you will be called...

Hard to see how this is a solution for vacuum when the extension is for nearly 3 years. If it was for a few months until they figure out a solution to the problems at hand, one would give them the benefit of the doubt but to extend the term, not once, but twice and for such a duration... that's just unacceptable.

The excuse being used for not holding elections is ridiculous. The situation is rarely stable in Lebanon. If security concerns are the cause of the extension, our dear politicians will make sure that these security problems linger for as long as possible.

When will you understand that HA and its servants are working for a Mutelateh?

The MPs who boycotted or voted against the extension should resign and trigger local by-elections; they will simply join the by-election that is going ahead soon to replace Jezzine MP Michel Helou who sadly passed away last June. This way if they win reelection their continued tenure in Parliament becomes legitimate at least in the eyes of the voters and their opposition to the extension genuine. It will also gives them valid barging rights against the ones who endorsed the extension. But if they continue with their extended term without by-elections, as some of them did the last time the term was extended, their opposition to extension is nothing but a cynical, dishonest, insincere stunt designed to mislead the people.

Lebanon has witnessed today the worst democracy of it's modern time.
Z downward spiral goes on
Politicians keeping z momentum of emptying z country of it's institutions & laws.
Congratulation, well done job dear Leb lawmakers.

Frangieh was refuting every single lie Aoun said yesterday

yes for sure! they all share the same cake and give themselves rights and shares in different public services making money instead of satisfying the needs of citizens...
any MP denouncing the theft of the country? none as they all have interests... they view Lebanon as a company not a country!
