Parliament to Stream its Session Live Next Week

Lebanon's parliament is preparing to hold a general debate for the government next week that will be broadcast live on television, as agreed at a parliament bureau meeting chaired by Speaker Nabih Berri on Thursday, media reports said on Friday.

Parliamentary sources told al-Joumhouria daily, there will be no agenda for this meeting but only an open visual and audio debate that will be broadcast live on air.

Live streaming may contribute to the encouragement of deputies to make statements about a set of electoral and political titles, and to approach the policy of the government, they added.

The government is expected to prepare a statement to be recited by the Prime Minister Saad Hariri at the beginning of the session. It includes a presentation of the government’s policy and the achievements it made since its formation. It will also highlight the files to be addressed in the next phase.
