Parliamentary elections are in danger in light of the Tuesday session

“Call of the homeland” wrote: The Council of Ministers did not take any decisive decision or a practical step regarding the election law, contenting with the referral of the gaps of the current law, especially in terms of voting of expatriates and the magnetic card, to the Council of Representatives, and to commission the Minister of Interior Ahmed Al -Hajjar to inform the joint parliamentary committees that participate in their meetings, on the content of what was stated in the decision in order to work on the current law. However, what the session ended, was not a consensus with evidence of the objection of the ministers of the “Lebanese Forces”, and the withdrawal of Justice Minister Adel Nassar. The government has previously decided a long response that lasted about two hours.
Legal and constitutional references reveal to the “Call of the Homeland” that the urgent draft law submitted by “the Lebanese forces upon its presentation to the Council of Representatives gives the latter a period of 40 days to decide on it. Laws, budget, requests to hold exceptional sessions, or to inform the council with treaties and emergency, as well as when submitting the ministerial statement or responding to questions and interrogations, which means that the government does not send a draft law to Parliament and its contentment with the assignment of the Minister of Interior to communicate with the parliamentary committees, there is no real value or constitutional effects for it.
The references add that the aim of the repeated urgent draft law was the cancellation of Article 112 and the leave of the expatriate to vote for the benefit of the 128 deputies. But what happened in practice is that the prime minister, according to the sources, was not pleased with this direction. Noting that the Council of Ministers did not take the recommendations (issued by the six -year ministerial committee) that it was supposed to take, in terms of canceling the articles related to the vote of expatriates and correcting and completing the current election law, and he was satisfied with sending the Minister of the Interior to the House of Representatives, considering that “we are with us and this case, in front of a great dilemma, and in front of a major dilemma, since the government says that it is not able to accomplish the elections due to the lack The legislation, on the one hand, and because the Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri refuses to hold a public body to vote to cancel the materials related to expatriates or their suspension, on the other hand.
The elections, then, are in imminent danger, and if the situation is not addressed, the matter can lead to the entirety of entitlement, the sources continue, which exposes the covenant to a major setback. However, the references confirm that there are legal exits to save the entitlement and to ensure the right to spread by voting for 128 deputies.
