We Have Our Vision For Parliamentary Work
Lebanese Forces (LF) leader Samir Geagea said Monday that he does not share parliament Speaker Nabih Berri”s vision on how the legislature should operate.
"We also have our own vision on how parliament should operate that is why we would support any MP that would respect this," Geagea told reporters following talks with National Bloc party leader Carlos Eddeh.
The LF leader added that March 14 Forces fought the electoral battle based on the people”s proposals and aspirations "people were not satisfied how parliament was run over the past period." He said that he would publicly present a few remarks on the issue this week.
Geagea voiced his rejection to providing the parliamentary minority with veto powers in cabinet.
"This experiment failed…providing them with veto power would paralyze the country and hinder [government] institutions," the LF leader told reporters.
He voiced his support that such power should be made available to the president "who proved to be on equal terms with all.This constitutes a guarantee for all by consensus."
