Berri Rejects Miqati Proposal for Turning Legislative Session into Confidence Session
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Tuesday rejected a suggestion from Prime Minister Najib Miqati for turning an ongoing legislative session into a general discussion session that would involve a vote of confidence over the government’s policies.
“This is a legislative session and I have not received a request,” Berri told Miqati, who responded by saying that “the issue is being raised through the media.”
Parliament later approved a host of laws, including one for extending the mandate of municipal councils and mukhtars and another for financing expat voting.
