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.

Expat voting is how the Christian rabble maintains its feeble grip on power via Article 24 of the Lebanese Constitution which reserves half of parliamentary seats to Christians. A new program has been launched to go door-to-door and verify that Christians are indeed such.
