إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Lawmakers from the Lebanese Forces and Free Patriotic Movement signed on Tuesday a draft-law on allowing expatriates to regain their Lebanese nationality, reported various media.

Earlier, al-Joumhouria newspaper had said that draft-law will be the “fruit of the Declaration of Intent” signed between the two sides in June.

They hope that their ongoing contacts would lead to including parliamentary electoral laws on the agenda of the parliamentary bureau.

The bureau is scheduled to convene later on Tuesday to address the agenda of an upcoming legislative session.

The LF and FPM had intensified over the past week their contacts in order to reach a joint vision over the agenda of the legislative session.

The two sides are pushing for including the parliamentary electoral law and the law on restoring nationality on the agenda of the legislative session.

Caporal is against allowing Lebanese abroad to vote in elections.
He knows that the very vast majority of Christians abroad are against him.
They consider the Caporal as a traitor.

Bla bla bla, just more diversion. The expats are not living among trash and disease. How about these parties propose a solution to the real problems instead of dancing around and twiddling their thumbs "well here's something to agree on: giving expats citizenship. We'll tackle the other issues later."

If this is the "fruit" of the "declaration of intent" then this is a pretty meaningless document. Shame on these politicians talking about expats when people inside the country are living in trash.

Wonderful if these two parties comprised the Lebanese body politic. But they don't, there is no Parliament meeting, and if it did, there is no President or active Council of Ministers! What are these clowns doing or what do they think they are doing?? Get a functioning government FIRST, then we can talk about draft laws!

If the Christians in Lebanon don't straighten out their act and become true Christians, not as the the situation is with Aoun and Geagea who prospered at the backs of the Christians, one day will come that there would be no Christians in Lebanon as is the case with all the neighboring Arab countries. The Christians need leaders of substance, not the corrupted ones we currently have. And after all, who wants the nationality of a country that has no electricity, no water and is full of garbage.

when will they draft a law for the children of lebanese women and foreign husband to be lebanese?
when will they allow women to travel without needing their husband's consent?
when will they allow women to open a bank account for their children without the consent of the husband?
when will they allow civil marriage?

when will Lebanon stop being such a retarded country ruled by mafiosi and businessmen?....
