نواب 8 آذار يدعون بري لعقد جلسة عامة لاقرار مشروع اللقاء الاورثوذكسي
Read this story in English
ناشد نواب قوى 8 آذار، رئيس مجلس النواب نبيه بري الدعوة لعقد جلسة عامة يتم فيها اقرار مشروع "اللقاء الاورثوذكسي" (حيث كل طائفة تنتخب ممثليها) ، كقانون انتخابي يجري على اساسه الاستحقاق الدستوري.
واثر اجتماعهم في مجلس النواب، الاربعاء، اعلن نائب "تكتل التغيير والاصلاح" ابراهيم كنعان ان "هناك فرصة تاريخية للبنان بأن يكون له قانون انتخاب جديد يؤمن المناصفة الحقيقية والصحيحة".
كما اضاف ان "الحل الديمقراطي البرلماني السليم لالغاء قانون الستين هو اقرار قانون جديد يؤمن اجراء الانتخابات النيابية ويؤمن تمثيلاً مسيحياً صحيحاً".
واكد كنعان "اننا لسنا جماعة صفقات بل جماعة مبادئ وأسس ولا نذهب باتفاقات لمخالفة القوانين، ونحن معنيون بديمومة الوطن واستمرارية الدولة وتأمين حالة تؤمن هذا الاستقرار لملء الفراغ الذي يجب ان لا يحدث".
من جانبه اعلن النائب سيمون ابي رميا عبر الـOTV ان "جو عين التينة الثلاثاء، أوحى لنا ان هناك دعوة الى الهيئة العامة وإذا تم تأمين النصاب في الجلسة سنطلب التصويت على الاورثوذكسي".
وحضر الاجتماع الذي ضم نواب "التيار الوطني الحر"، "حركة أمل" و"حزب الله" كل من ابراهيم كنعان، علي فياض، علي عمار، نوار الساحلي، نواف الموسوي، هاني قبيسي، أيوب حميد، اسطفان الدويهي، هاغوب بقردونيان، غازي زعيتر، علي بزي، حسن فضل الله، الان عون وسيمون أبي رميا.
يُشار ان اللجان النيابية اقرت المشروع الاورثوذكسي في ظل رفض كتلتي "المستقبل" و"التقدمي الاشتراكي" والنواب المستقلون في 14 آذار، فضلاً عن رفض رئيس الجمهورية ميشال سليمان ورئيس حكومة تصريف الاعمال نجيب ميقاتي. بعد ان كانت الحكومة قد اقرت في ايلول اجراء الانتخابات وفق القانون النسبي في 13 دائرة انتخابية.
ومن الجدير بالذكر، ان سليمان وميقاتي وقعا مرسوم دعوة الهيئات الناخبة للانتخابات في التاسع من حزيران المقبل، كما فُتح باب الترشح من 11 آذار حتى 11 نيسان، ما يعني اجراء الانتخابات وفق قانون الستين، اذا لم يتم الاتفاق على قانون جديد، الذي يلاقي رفض معظم الافرقاء.
الا ان هذه الاجراءات تأتي لتطبيق الدستور وخوفاً من عدم اجراء الانتخابات النيابية في موعدها.

An interesting gambit which I am sure Berri will decline to initiate for fear of his portfolio of graft being shredded by any M14 government.

Someone could explain to Berri that with the ascendance of M14 in a new election austerity will have to be implemented. All of his plums would be privatized by the IMF.
Lebanon has a choice. Soak the rich, implement governance reform and establish a public central bank that creates Lebanons currency and credit. The alternative is Lebanon's public wealth stolen and debt peonage for decades.

Do you mean the patrons of the politicians or the voters when you say constituents? It was obvious even in the last Bill for the implementation of the SCC wage scale that it is the patrons that are rotten to the core.

What is clear is that without bold and honest leadership Lebanon is headed into the clutches of the IMF and austerity. Think of Greece.

I take a more generous approach to "citizens". The public has been trained by the oligarchs to believe the tripe the national media puts out.
The word of the plutocracy becomes "common knowledge" when it is in fact the seeds of propaganda that they use to confound and confuse the "citizens".
By the time the crimes are discovered the deeds are done and dusted while the public interest is defiled ... Just look at real estate on the Lebanese coast.

This got nothing to do with religion, corruption is the driving force of all our political problems. They share the pie, try to steal as much as possible, give some to their supporters (based on religion cause its the easiest classing force)to maintain popularity, then get re elected.... its a viscous circle and only halting corruption can break it. 99% of the lebanese vote to whom can give them financial/economical benefits and incentives. Balad services and wasayit....

if they approve the orthodox law that means all lebanese will be equal whomever win, all sects will be equal in rights...after that the elected people will sit together & make a new system for lebanon (new regime 2013)..the best is a civil state were all are lebanese no matter what their sect is.

No need to scream it or anything. First they need to pick a new government, who will then have to pass an election law so that hopefully we can have elections to get a new parliament who will have to again agree on a new government.
And then, presidential elections in 2014.
Now knowing the rate at which these things go in lebanon, do you think this will all be finished by the time aoun is still eligible to run ;) isn't he the one appalled at having to extend retirement age for government officers? ;)

religions were created by men not by God so insulting them is not insulting God...

Peace, I agree with you on the separation of state and religion but cannot agree with you on where the blame lies.
Blaming religion for the problem is like blaming the car or the liquor instead of the drunk driver.

lebanonfirst:
aren t all the lebanese problems based on religions and the use of them?
aren t people hiding behind their religion and defending it better than their own country?
religions have been the best tools to manipulate people throughout centuries and people still want more...

I see what you are saying but the blame is on how people use the religion and not the religion itself. I see a lot of good things that come from religion too like Feed my starving children and the Red Cross. My church groups have programs for the youths to keep them off the streets; we volunteer at food shelters and bring food with us to feed the homeless. We send money to organizations such Auxilia lebanon. Again, to me it is all about one's own knowledge and what you can do with it. We cannot eliminate religion but we can spread knowledge.
