PM silences Defense Minister in Parliament
The article confirmed that the incident of preventing the Lebanese Defense Minister from speaking during a session of the Parliament is not merely a protocol dispute but a dangerous precedent that threatens the powers of the constitutional institutions in Lebanon. The analysis pointed out that the Prime Minister has no right to prevent the minister from expressing himself before Parliament, and that the authority to manage debates within the council is confined to the Parliament and its speaker, according to the internal regulations, not the Prime Minister. This behavior is considered a threat to the foundations of the parliamentary system, as it diminishes the role of Parliament in exercising oversight over the government and turns ministers into tools solely for the position of the Prime Minister if such practices are repeated. The article emphasized that allowing an expansion of the Prime Minister's powers to silence ministers within Parliament constitutes a degradation of the constitution and a danger to the balance of powers in the Lebanese constitutional system.
