Opposition Continues Its Shenanigans

Amal leader and parliamentary speaker Nabih al Berri continues to claim that Prime Minister Fouad Siniora's government is unconstitutional. To this end, he refuses to allow Siniora into the parliament (Siniora is not an elected member of parliament) to participate in General Michel Sleiman's election.

This entirely undermines the Doha Agreement, which happened partially because the March 14 Coalition believed the opposition would not immediately attack the initiatives of the previous government during this period of national-unity.

Parliamentary majority leader Saad Hariri immediately took action. If Siniora is not allowed, then Berri will not have a quorum.


Side note: None of the parties are happy that Michel Sleiman will be elected president. Allegedly, only Michel Murr and the good people of Amchit are content with this decision.
