Berri Threatens to Keep Up Sit-In Until Cabinet Deal is Done
Speaker Nabih Berri on Thursday has reportedly threatened to keep up his sit-in at Parliament until a new Cabinet is announced.
"The government crisis reached a stage where effective action is needed to form a government as soon as possible," Berri was quoted as telling lawmakers in Parliament.
The MPs also said Berri was getting ready to offer three new proposals that include 1- urging President Michel Suleiman to summon political leaders to a national dialogue to discuss the crisis, 2- calling a parliamentary session to discuss the government crisis, and 3- to personally seek to stage a sit-in at Parliament until the Cabinet crisis is resolved.
