Ja' Ja': Parliamentary Incident Seen as a Scandal in Appearance but Lacking Substance

Samir Geagea, leader of the Lebanese Forces Party, considered that what has happened in the Parliament over the past few days is a scandal both in form and substance. The parliament failed to pass a deserved amnesty law to lift the injustice faced by a broad segment of Lebanese citizens. Instead, it approved laws without sufficient study, which resulted in additional financial burdens on the treasury amidst an economic decline that began in 2019. Geagea also anticipated that the "Strong Republic" bloc would reconsider drafting a bill to shorten the current parliament's term, especially since the term has already been extended, expressing concern over repeating the path that led to the country's financial and economic collapse.
