Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea praised President Joseph Aoun’s statements from Bkerke, especially his insistence on holding elections on time.
Geagea agreed with Aoun’s call for Parliament to take responsibility and amend the electoral law to make the elections possible.
He addressed Aoun directly, saying Speaker Nabih Berri is blocking any discussion on the proposed amendments.
Geagea urged the President to follow up his verbal message with a written one, stressing that a written message would be binding and necessary to overcome the deadlock.
Samir Geagea warned that Speaker Nabih Berri will likely ignore President Joseph Aoun’s verbal call to discuss electoral law amendments.
He stressed that a written message from the President is constitutionally binding and would force Parliament to meet within three days.
Geagea said only such a letter can save the upcoming electoral deadline, unless Berri unexpectedly decides to act.
His remarks came during a dinner for the Aley region at the Lebanese Forces headquarters in Maarab.
