In the midst of all the collapses and crises that are engulfing Lebanon from all directions, President Nabih Berri resolved it and set next Tuesday as the date for electing a Speaker and members of the Parliament’s bureau, driving the political stalemate that followed the election and accelerating the process of re-establishing power.

With his decision, the president not only crowded the parliamentary blocs and put them before their responsibilities, but also cut off all roads in the face of those who try to impose their conditions on him or even blackmail him, stressing that there is no place and no need for a bargain that would have cost him many obligations.

Berri may be within his position at the head of the council with his decision on the date, but the fierce competition revolves around the deputy presidency, and here the real battle is 5 candidates and a lot of controversies, to be decided by the ballot box and decide the winner..

Eyes are on Tuesday’s session… and anticipation is the master of the situation. There is no place for bargains so far… Are we witnessing a positive political atmosphere that will save the streets from explosion?
