Report: FPM Undecided on Attending Cabinet Session

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The Free Patriotic Movement has not yet determined whether it will attend next week's cabinet session, reported the daily al-Mustaqbal on Sunday.

A prominent FPM source told the daily that Change and Reform bloc chief MP Michel Aoun “is awaiting answers to certain questions” before taking any decision.

“Should some of the FPM's demands be met, then the movement's participation in the cabinet meeting will be productive,” it added.

“The movement is keen on reactivating government work, but it is still awaiting answers to its demands,” it stressed.

The cabinet's work has been crippled in recent months over the FPM's insistence that an agreement be reached over its decision-making mechanism.

Ongoing disputes over the issue have hindered the government's work, resulting in the accumulation of hundreds of articles.

Some media reports placed that number at around a thousand.

Prime Minister Tammam Salam scheduled a government meeting for Thursday.

It is set to discuss “non-contentious” issues.

For what do we need FPM to attend ? Aoun has been blocking and paralysing the government since 2005 in effort to get him the presidency chair . Take action in passing all laws whether these morons are there or not

It's incredible!
It is the duty of each and every MP to attend sessions, it is the duty of each and every Minister to attend Government meetings, it is the duty of each MP to go and cast a vote for the Presidential elections!
What kind of behavior is this!?
There is a Constitution!
There are duties!
Enough already!
They are not happy? They can resign!
