March 8 MPs to Give Appropriate Response to Opposition during Parliamentary Sessions
The March 8 MPs are looking forward for calm parliamentary sessions and will not resort to escalatory rhetoric out of their keenness on the country’s stability, a high-ranking source in the parliamentary majority told As Safir daily Monday.
The source said, however, that if March 14 MPs make escalatory statements, then the March 8 lawmakers would give the appropriate response.
“Every slap in the face would be met with a similar slap,” the source told the newspaper.
The three-day sessions that are scheduled to kick off on Tuesday morning are aimed at discussing the policy statement of Premier Najib Miqati’s cabinet and giving the government the vote of confidence.
Speaker Nabih Berri’s sources told Ad-Diyar newspaper that the parliamentary sessions would be carried live on television.
They said Berri is determined to have order during the sessions. He would interfere if the need arises to prevent strong verbal attacks between pro- and anti-government lawmakers.
