First parliamentary battle… Parliament Presidency

The next phase will be holding fateful entitlements, after the new political map that emerged from the parliamentary elections. Perhaps the election of the Speaker of Parliament is one of the first parliamentary battles.
The Lebanese forces, the Kataeb, the independents, and some of the Changers will not vote for a new term for Berri. At the same time, attention turns to the compass of settlements, between voting for a seventh term for the Speaker of the Council, in return for obtaining the seat of the Vice-President of the Council.
The most prominent expected scenario, is the first one, that is to vote for a new term for the Speaker of the Council with fifty-three deputies, and the opposition of fifty-one deputies. As for the second, it is an inevitable vote for Berri, due to the absence of representatives of the Shiite community outside of Hezbollah and the Amal movement.
“Sawt Beirut International” sources indicate that the option of not to renew Berri, will put the country before charter scenarios, and scenarios of Sunni-Shiite tension, or Shiite-Christian.
Lebanon, then, is facing a new political era, and the parliament’s launch depends on the election of the parliament’s speaker and deputy.
