Berri Ends Argument in Parliament by Asking FPM’s Abi Khalil to ‘Sit Down’

W460

An argument occurred between Amal’s MP Ali Hassan Khalil and Free Patriotic Movement’s MP Cesar Abi Khalil during a parliamentary session Thursday.

Khalil accused President Michel Aoun of violating the constitution for failing to call for parliamentary by-elections to fill the empty parliamentary seats.

The accusation angered Abi Khalil who said the constitution criminalizes “offending” the President.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri intervened defending Khalil by saying “no one has offended the President,” and “no one is more keen on the presidency’s position than me.”

“Relax,” he said, asking Abi Khalil to sit down.

Khalil accused President Michel Aoun of violating the constitution for failing to call for parliamentary by-elections to fill the empty parliamentary seats.

So true! Aoun has refused to call for by-elections to fill the 11 vacant parliamentary seats.

What a dysfunctional democracy, OMG, everything is so rotten and beyond salvation. The ruling class is made of psychopaths and clowns.
