"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Geagea urges Berri to set sessions for discussing war, electing president - Naharnet

 Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Friday called on Speaker Nabih Berri to schedule parliamentary sessions aimed at discussing the current Israel-Hezbollah escalation and electing a new president for the country.

"Can anyone explain to me what is preventing Speaker Nabih Berri from calling the Parliament to convene urgently to discuss the tragedy that the Lebanese people are currently experiencing, especially if we remember that ten MPs had submitted a written request on July 22, 2024 to set a date for a session to interrogate the government regarding the measures that must be taken to spare the South and Lebanon war," Geagea said in a statement.

He also called on Berri to “immediately call for an actual session, not a formal one, as was the case in the past, to elect a president for the republic, in light of the tragedy that the Lebanese people are currently experiencing.”

”Doesn't the disruption of constitutional institutions in Lebanon, especially the presidency, serve the enemies of Lebanon, especially Israel? Is it permissible for the suffering of the Lebanese to continue after they had enough of the difficult financial, economic and social conditions?” Geagea wondered.
