Report: LF-FPM Meeting Expected ahead of Legislative Session
A meeting is expected to be held soon between Lebanese Forces and Free Patriotic Movement officials ahead of next week's legislative session, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper on Friday.
It said the Change and Reform bloc Secretary MP Ibrahim Kanaan is set to pay a visit to Maarab “within the next two days to come up with a joint vision of the parliamentary session.”
A meeting had been held between LF media officer Melhem Riachi and FPM officials at Rabieh earlier this week.
Contacts have intensified in recent days between political blocs over next week's legislative meeting.
Al-Joumhouria reported that the LF and FPM are seeking to place the parliamentary electoral draft law on the agenda of the meeting, among a number of other laws.
The daily said however that it is “almost impossible” for the draft law to be included on the agenda.
“There are some 18 draft laws and proposals that have not been approved by the joint parliamentary committees so that they can be presented to parliament,” it explained.
The legislative session is set for Tuesday.
Failure to adopt a new parliamentary electoral law has led to the postponement of the elections twice and the lawmakers' extension of their term twice as a result.
