Berri Hits Back at Hariri, Warns of Bid to 'Keep 1960 Electoral Law'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Speaker Nabih Berri announced Monday that the parties that are obstructing the formation of the new government are “the ones who are violating the Constitution, norms and the rules of forming cabinets, not those who are warning against that.”
“This is not a response to Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri but rather a clarification for him: those obstructing are the ones violating the Constitution, norms and the rules of forming cabinets, not those who are warning against that, and the ultimate objective could be to keep the 1960 (electoral) law,” Berri said.
Berri's remarks came after a meeting at the Baabda Palace between Hariri and President Michel Aoun.
“We are in agreement with the president on everything. There are some obstacles and the one obstructing is well-known, you can ask him about that,” Hariri told reporters after the meeting.

Why is Berri concerned about the 1960 law? LOL
He and nassrallah have the shia votes locked up regardless of any law. Could it be he cares about the Christians and the Sunnis?

The law you need to talk about is Article 24 of the Constitution which gives half of Parliament to Christians. Whether or not Noam Chomsky is right to say that more than half of all Lebanese are Shia, never mind the Lebanese Sunni, this is a ridiculous way to pretend to have a democracy. It reminds you of Israel. Is Israel stable?
