إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Prime Minister Tammam Salam held talks on Monday with Speaker Nabih Berri in Ain el-Tineh, the state-run National News Agency reported.
The NNA reported that the two officials discussed the latest developments in Lebanon, in particular the parliamentary crisis.
Salam and Berri also tackled the wage scale of public employees and the state-budget for 2015.
The PM left Ain el-Tineh without making any statement.
Vacuum striking the presidential post is having a tough impact on the cabinet and the parliament as the state is threatened with further crises over ongoing rows between the rival parties.

The rationale builds for ending the Christian Presidency of Lebanon. The fact that the Moslems are doing away with the political reserve is blurred by the agency of Michel Aoun, his insistence on becoming president by consensus, and refusal to allow anyone else to the seat by boycotting the electoral sessions of Parliament.
Granted, underlying this is the play of Iran and KSA within M8 and M14, and Berri's refusal to perform his duty as Speaker to keep Parliament in session until someone is elected. But without the cooperation of the Christian Parties, Particularly FPM and Aoun, the destruction of the Christian political presence in Lebanon would not be likely or possible.

This contradicts your previous statement that the Christians are already too pribiliged and hence why HA arms are needed. You are contradicting yourself or your support for Aoun suits HA efforts to undermine the Christians.

The biggest crisis in Lebanon is the fact that the majority of its citizens are Shia Muslims, who are forbidden by Article 24 of the Constitution from using their numbers at the ballot box to elect a representative government. This is a dilemma: it has two ways out. You can kill enough Shia Muslims to restore, as they say in Israel, demographic security, or you can institute democracy. To say that Christian representation is at risk, when Christians are the sole beneficiaries of Article 24 (look at what it gets you: constant instability), emphasizes that civil rights is a foreign concept in Lebanese halls of power: despite those halls having no rooves and only blown-out windows. Maybe some fresh air and new thinking can blow in.

Only those believing in Lebanon and in its Democratic system should be allowed to participate in the Democratic process. The rest should either be jailed or sent packing to their country of loyalty.
