Parliament convenes despite LF, Kataeb boycott
A parliamentary session convened Thursday with the attendance of 67 MPs -- barely meeting the required quorum --, despite a boycott by the Lebanese Forces and Kataeb MPs in protest against Speaker Nabih Berri's refusal to amend the electoral law regarding expatriate voting rights.
The session will discuss a loan by the World Bank for the reconstruction of war-hit regions in Lebanon.
LF leader Samir Geagea said Wednesday that any MP who attends the legislative session would give Berri "a blank check", whether intentionally or unintentionally.
