إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Industry Minister Hussein Hajj Hassan stated on Monday that the priority of the newly elected government is to issue a new electoral law for the upcoming parliamentary elections that ensures political stability in Lebanon, stressing that his (Hizbullah) party adheres to proportional representation, the National News Agency reported.

Hajj Hassan's comments came during a funeral ceremony in South of Lebanon, where he considered that “devising a new electoral law requires a political decision.”

The Minister remarked that “security in Lebanon has provided the basis for political stability which resulted in the election of a new president, the formation of a national unity government that succeeded at drafting its policy statement” which will be discussed by the parliament for the vote of confidence starting Tuesday.

Hajj Hassan also pointed out that the cabinet of PM Hariri would also take charge of socio-economic problems and implement a new development plan.

ya hajj if i were you, here what most Lebanese want the priorities of your lovely government- They are no listed in any order of importance:
1. Give your weapons to the Lebanese state or government. Seems odd and uncool that you are armed and then lecturing the rest of us what the government priority should be.
2. Stop illegal smuggling of weapon and drugs through State owned ports - You know what I am talking about , don't you?
3. Move all illegal buildings fro around the Airport. This is endangering the lives of the people that live there and also the lives of travelers, regardless of their nationality, religion and race.
4. Stop acting that you are part of a government while you have your own on the side.
5.Stop bragging about your martyrs Syria and how you are protecting Lebanon. No one asked you to do that - so get in with it.

Do one of the above then let us talk
