Berri Says 'Either Me or No One Else' Does Not Serve Lebanon
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةSpeaker Nabih Berri has stressed that the legislative and executive powers will enjoy the needed quorum if they convene, saying the policy of either my way or nothing is not in Lebanon's favor.
Berri told officials who visited him in Ain el-Tineh on Sunday that there was no initiative yet to resolve Lebanon’s political crises “because some parties continue to hold onto their stances.”
“The government should assume its responsibilities and convene to settle financial and economic issues,” he said in remarks published in several local newspapers on Monday.
“The parliament should also meet in an extraordinary session,” said the speaker.
He reiterated that there are several urgent draft-laws, including international grants, that need approval.
Asked if the cabinet and parliament are capable of convening, Berri said: “There is nothing to worry about. There is quorum both in the government and the legislature.”
“The policy of either me or no one else does not serve the country,” he added.
The country's political institutions became deadlocked after the rival lawmakers failed to elect a successor to President Michel Suleiman, whose term ended in May 2014.
The parliament has failed to meet over lack of quorum and the government plunged in paralysis earlier this month over a dispute on the appointment of high-ranking security and military officials.
You are the problem, resign if you cannot get your members to attend the session to elect president. By not doing anything to solve the problem you agree with the status quo.

“The policy of either me or no one else does not serve the country,”.... Says the guy who has held his position for 2+decades. All our government figures are identical. Same group of politicians. Zaha2tona minkon w min kizibkon
"Me or nobody" has changed to : "They will elect me or I will destroy everything and they will be forced to elect me". This is where we are today.
Most of the people know that the caporal is mentally ill and ought to be treated in an asylum.
Yes. Very low level of thinking. Compare with the Lebanese abroad who are in their vast majority against the madman.

Memo to Mr Nabih Berri if you want serve Lebanon start by resigning and let somebody competent take your job
This guy tries to come across as a moderate who has the best interest of Lebanon at heart when in reality there is nothing moderate about him, his policies are Syrian/Iranian inspired, a liar son of a liar, time for some new blood in Lebanon.
