شدد وزير الخارجية جبران باسيل على ان الميثاقية لا تكون فقط في الحكومة بل بمجلس النواب، لافتا الى أن التيار "الوطني الحر" ضحى بمقاعد لتفادي التمديد.

وقال باسيل الجمعة "قانون الانتخاب هو المكان الذي يأخذ فيه اللبنانيون حقهم وعلى شبح التمديد ان يرحل عنا".

ولفت الى أنه "لا يمكن ان نصدق ان اكثر من 20 قانون انتخاب طرحت كلها لم تلقَ الرضى"، مستنتجا ان "البعض يريد التمديد".

وأضاف " لا للتمديد نعم لقانون جديد".

وخلص الى القول "التيار الوطني الحر يضحي بمقاعد لتفادي التمديد لكننا لن نضحي بالميثاقية التي لا تكتمل فقط بالحكومة انما أيضا بالمجلس النيابي".

“We cannot believe that more than 20 proposed electoral laws have all failed to receive approval”
Tell that to Berri and to his puppet master little man.He's refused to submit any and all of these laws to Parliament for deliberation, vote and approval under trumped up excuses. Two of these laws were submitted by Berri's own block and one was approved by his, Hizballah's, the C&R's ministers in the Mikati cabinet. Berri's puppet master is worried about the expected FPM/LF electoral alliance and how it will loosen his grip on a couple of dozen Christian MP.

Who, exactly, agreed to the National Pact? How many persons? Who were they? As it stands, Article 24 of the Constitution, which gives half of Parliament to Christians regardless of how people vote, cannot be changed by the current arrangement since these Christian MPs will just block the amendment process. I have not read the rest of the Constitution: is there a public-access, petition-driven, amendment process via a referendum?

zulfiquar... we have heard this story many...many...many times... what is your twisted logic? What are you saying? Taef braught the equilibrium, and the speaker of the chamber is of shia confession...the Christian President is almost powerless... every confession in this country has veto power de facto...so what are you saying?
The one who feel superior might be the ones that work, pay their electricity bills, strive for peace, try to bring investments in this country... contrary to the ones who are warmongers, thieves, steal at the port and the airport, smuggle weapons, and enrich themselves with drug dealing...
