Jaafari: Strong Republic Bloc to Consider Proposal to Shorten Parliamentary Term

The article discusses the escalating criticism directed at the performance of the Lebanese Parliament. It describes the actions of the deputies during recent sessions as a "big scandal" both in appearance and substance, particularly criticizing the council's failure to pass a pardon law to alleviate the injustices faced by many Lebanese citizens. It also points out that the decisions made have imposed financial burdens on the government amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars, amidst the ongoing economic and financial crisis that began in 2019. Therefore, Samir Geagea announced that the "Strong Republic" bloc would consider sponsoring a bill to shorten the current council's term, especially since the term has already been extended and there is no plausible justification for further prolongation.
