BEIRUT: Speaker Nabih Berri has warned lawmakers against continuing their boycott of Parliament sessions, threatening to take serious measures against them.
“It is no longer possible to remain silent about what is going on, and those who have harmed the Constitution will hear from me something they’ve never heard before,” Berri told the local newspaper As-Safir in remarks published Wednesday.
“Not only that, but they will see measures also," he warned, saying that these actions would likely be disclosed during a June 10 legislative session.
Berri said he believed that if boycotters applied the Constitution and the laws “things would automatically go right.”
“But the problem is they don’t want to apply them, and each one of them wants to have his own ‘constitutional zone' ... without thinking of the country’s or the people’s best interest,” the speaker complained.
“This method does not build a nation, and they have to beware that if they continue doing so they would be harming Lebanon’s existence because the repercussions from boycotting Parliament are very grave."
