Boustani Defends Military Nonsectarianism
Gebran Bassil confirmed from the House of Representatives that preventing the Minister of Defense from speaking during a session discussing the amnesty law constitutes a constitutional violation. The minister has the right to express his opinion, and his constitutional powers must be respected according to Article 67 of the Constitution. He clarified that the minister wanted to present the Lebanese Army's perspective regarding amnesty for those who killed its members, which has been prevented from him. This represents a serious precedent that threatens the Constitution and the traditions of the Council. Bassil also criticized the issuance of an amnesty law that encourages impunity, especially since it covers serious crimes, which in turn promotes criminal activity and threatens public safety. He announced that his bloc withdrew from the session in protest against the constitutional violation and to reject the repetition of such practices, emphasizing that the army and military institutions include all sects and work to protect all Lebanese citizens without discrimination.
