Parliamentary elections between confirming their consequences on time .. The parliament asked the government to amend the law

The Minister of Interior and Municipalities, Ahmed Al -Hajjar, before his entry into the cabinet session yesterday that the parliamentary elections will take place on time. Regarding the expatriate elections, he said: We have come a long way in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the registration deadline will be opened soon, provided that the maximum is on November 20, according to the law.
On the other hand, the costly sub -committee requested to discuss the proposals of the election laws from the government officially amending the current election law, in the event of obstacles that prevent its implementation.
Al -Akhbar wrote: The assigned parliamentary committee threw discussing the proposals of the election laws, the ball in the stadium of the Council of Ministers, on the premise that it is the authority responsible for implementing the law in effect, and that all the “monotheism” that the Foreign Minister and the Interior Minister, Youssef Raji and Ahmed Al -Hajjar, brings to the Parliamentary Committee, is only spent by a clear decree or a draft law that the government officially sends to the House of Representatives. On the surface, the government says that the amendment of the election law is the responsibility of the House of Representatives, as stated yesterday, Minister of Information Paul Morcos, but in fact Raji attended the parliamentary committee meeting yesterday, firmly from the inability to implement the current election law in terms of the voting of expatriates to six deputies abroad and the absence of the applied mechanism for that.
In parallel, Al -Hajjar talked about opening the door for registration to expatriates according to the law on October 15, provided that the maximum registration is next November 20, announcing that it is ready for any amendment to the election law. On the occurrence of this contradiction, and since the government formed a committee to study everything related to the electoral entitlement without producing anything, the head of the Parliamentary Committee Elias Bou Saab considered that there is a valid law and the government is assumed completely.
In the event of any obstacle that prevents it, it must officially report it. Because the committee waited for more than four months the government’s observations without receiving even one note, Bou Saab began yesterday to discuss the proposals of the electoral laws submitted by some deputies, the first of which is the proposal presented by MP Ali Hassan Khalil, who provides for elections from outside the sectarian registration on the basis of Lebanon one circle and the establishment of the Senate in implementation of the Taif Agreement.
The two deputies, George Ada, and Hadi Abu Al -Hassan, tried to jump above the discussion on the pretext of “not wasting time and going to amend the current law by canceling the six deputies abroad.” Accordingly, he moved to the discussion in the proposal of Hassan Khalil, with the indication of the existence of similar points between his proposal and the other two proposals from the two representatives Melhem Khalaf and the grace of Afram. It seemed remarkable, Hassan Khalil discussed during the discussion of the law proposal to two points to dispel the concerns of other sects.
The first stressed that his first concerned team headed by the House of Representatives is well aware that the establishment of the Senate will reduce the powers of the Speaker of the Council, but despite that, “we are two tribes and the Senate.” As for the second, it came, quoting the tongue of President Nabih Berri, who wanted to inform the representatives of the voters outside the sectarian registration and reflect the matter negatively to the Christian parliamentary representation, that he is “open to all proposals and is keen to find a mechanism that guarantees the preservation of the sectarian balance by setting certain controls.”
