Geagea blames 'defiance' camp for nonurgent govt. session, presidential crisis
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea criticized Wednesday a cabinet session that he said discussed items that a caretaker government should not be tackling.
Geagea dubbed the session as "unconstitutional" although it discussed some urgent matters, but also contained other items "far from being urgent."
He said that those who are bypassing the constitution in cabinet are the same who are violating the constitution by obstructing 12 presidential election sessions in parliament.
Geagea held the "Axis of Defiance" responsible for the deterioration of the situation in Lebanon by insisting on infringing on the constitution on both ministerial and parliamentary levels.

I strongly assert that the act of boycotting Parliamentary sessions ought to be deemed unlawful, even in cases where individuals hold a medical certificate. This stance is derived from my belief that such a practice exemplifies a pernicious and undemocratic game that undermines the principles of our democratic system. If an individual finds themselves physically incapable of attending these sessions due to illness, it is my conviction that they should responsibly resign from their position rather than resort to boycotting as a means of leverage or else get instantly disqualified as a MP.
