In Lebanon, it seems that no reunion can take place between different Lebanese parties without having a hurdle coming in its way. While Lebanese were awaiting the electoral subcommitte meetings' outcome, the first obstruction arose.
The electoral subcommittee meeting for the third day in a row failed to fulfill its goal to bridge the gaps as the FPM MP Alain Aoun suspended his participation in protest of lawmakers' refusal to finalize the minutes of the meeting, highlighting the draft laws that have been agreed on.
MP Robert Ghanem, the chairman of the subcommittee, said he would finalize and refer the minutes of the meeting to Parliament after the second round of Thursday’s session.
Christian lawmakers (LF MP George Adwan, Kataeb MP Samy Gemayel and FPM MP Alain Aoun), along with both Amal MP Ali Bazzi and Hizbullah MP Ali Fayyad, are shoring up the Orthodox Gathering draft-law, while Al Mustaqbal MPs Ahmad Fatfat and Serge Torsarkissian and the National Struggle Front MP Akram Shuhayyib voiced out their rejection to it.
As news releases stated that a dispute erupted between Christian parties MPs from one side and Al Mustaqbal and National Struggle Front MPs from the other, MPs George Adwan and Ahmad Fatfat rushed to tell press reporters that these news are unfounded.
In this same framework of polarization, independent March 14 MPs (including Dory Chamoun) have announced their rejection of the Orthodox Gathering draft-law in a meeting held at MP Boutros Harb's residence in Hazmieh , saying it instigates sedition and harms coexistence that has been enshrined by the Constitution.
