“The decision is taken. And he who has any other word to say, can now resort to judiciary!” With these words, Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib responded to the trust issue raised by Strong Republic bloc deputies, against the backdrop of the Strong Republic bloc accusing Bou Habib and his ministry of tampering with preparations for the expatriate polls scheduled for the 6th and 8th of next month in places where Lebanese live abroad.
What is the likely outcome of tomorrow’s session, and will the Free Patriotic Movement play its final card in the face of the expatriates?
On a side note, the issue of a trust vote to be put in a minister in the Parliament is a rare occurrence in Lebanon’s political life.
