Bassil: We withdrew from the session because of major constitutional violation

Head of Strong Lebanon bloc Gebran Bassil said: “We withdrew from the session because of a major constitutional violation,” after deputies of the bloc withdrew from the legislative session held earlier on Thursday.

He stressed that the quorum was 65 deputies according to the constitution, after Berri had considered it 57 in the aforementioned session.

He went on to ask: "What are the reasons for tampering with the electoral law? Why are we creating a constitutional and charter problem?"
