Commenting on the legislative session, to which Berri called in order to discuss the pay scale next Tuesday, MP George Adwan stressed that deputies cannot legislate when they fail to carry out their main duty.
Prior to the session, member of the Development and Liberation bloc MP Qassem Hashem told LBCI that the new president will not be completely against the Resistance, noting that the situation will become more complicated in case of a vacuum.
Parliament failed to elect a new president due to disputes between the March 8 and 14 camps. Most of the March 8 alliance's MPs boycotted four rounds of elections over their call for an agreement on a consensual president and their rejection of the candidacy of their Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea. President Michel Sleiman's six-year term ends on May 25. The Constitutional date for parliament to start convening to elect a new president began on March 25.
