Berri: Legislative Session Will Definitely Be Held

Speaker Nabih Berri expressed his commitment to holding a legislative session “even if he had to attend it alone,” reported An Nahar daily on Friday.

His visitors reported him as saying: “I will definitely hold a legislative session because the situation has become unbearable.”

He stressed that the parliament bureau will continue to study 13 draft-laws during its upcoming meeting next week.

The speaker said that he is content with the cooperation of the members of the bureau, adding that “at the end of the day, the session will be held.”

In addition, Berri said: “The country is in danger and holding the session or not is no longer linked to constitutional affairs. There can be no justification for any member's absence from the session.”

The parliament bureau had convened on Tuesday to address the scheduled of the legislative session, which will likely be held in November.
