Najm Confirms She Plans to Resign over Independence of Judiciary Law
Justice Minister Marie-Claude Najm said she plans to submit her resignation if the Parliament fails to approve the law on the independence of the judiciary, al-Joumhouria daily reported on Tuesday.
Najm, whose remarks were made in an interview with the daily, said she intended to submit her resignation twice during her six-month period in office.
The first was because of her “disappointment” that the Higher Judicial Council did not take her remarks into consideration in the judicial formations, she said. Noting that PM Hassan Diab dissuaded her from that step.
The Minister said she planned to resign again when the financial and administrative appointments were issued at the Cabinet, but decided to “continue with the confrontation because the rescue path is long,” and that she “will not give up.”
But shall the Parliament fail to endorse the law on the independence of the judiciary, Najm said she will “resign if this law gets obstructed.”
