Alain Aoun Confirms Hizbullah Mediation between FPM Chief, Speaker but No Meeting Soon

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Change and Reform bloc MP Alain Aoun confirmed on Thursday a Hizbullah initiative to bridge the gap between Speaker Nabih Berri and Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun.

Aoun told An Nahar daily that Hizbullah's attempt to end the rift between Berri and the FPM chief is aimed at limiting tension and discussing the speaker's call for opening an extraordinary legislative session.

There have been reports in the past two days that Hizbullah launched the initiative to limit the sharp differences between Berri and Aoun over the cabinet's controversial decision-making formula and the opening of the parliamentary session.

Asked about reports that efforts are underway to set up a meeting between Berri and Aoun or between the country's top four March 8 alliance leaders, the lawmaker said: “The issue hasn't been yet discussed seriously.”

Parliament is in paralysis since November, when it last met to extend its own term over the failure to agree on a new electoral draft-law.

Berri is insisting on holding a legislative session to approve draft-laws that he deems important. But Aoun's Change and Reform bloc and other blocs want to add to the agenda other draft-laws that they back.

The cabinet members are also in a sharp dispute over its working mechanism.

The paralysis is the result of the absence of a president.

sophia_angle; first I doubt you are a woman.
Second, do you have electricity 24/7 as promised by Bassil. Remember he was given 1.2 billion USD to ensure we have 24/7 power as of last year. Your tsunami wave is nothing more than a trickle.

@ParvizAmir, which era do you live in? Gebran was minister of energy some years ago, and his promise has lapsed long since and to this day we're still suffering. Sophia, there's no need to be so sulphuric in your debates, you could develop ulcers in due time.

@Sophia angle
Allow me to correct you
ALL our politicians are corrupt, liars and thieves, thus the futility when M8 and M14 blame each other

The appearance of Alain Aoun confirms that the family power struggle for succession of the FPM has now reached fever pitch. It's also another proof that Aoun is now well past his 80th birthday and has lost it almost all.

More BS on top of BS. Aoun picks a fight with everyone and then tries to get relevance by saying he may talk to the person whom he has offended. BS written large!!
