Deputy House Speaker Farid Mekari accused Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri of crippling the legislature."If the deputy speaker had constitutional powers to hold parliament sessions, I wouldn't have closed Parliament doors," Mekari said in an interview with Future TV. "Among the essential duties of Speaker Nabih Berri is to go to Parliament and hold presidential elections without pre-agreements," Mekari said. "Instead, Speaker Berri went beyond his role and responsibilities, believing that postponing parliament sessions (to elect a president) is something normal," Mekari added. In response to a question, Mekari said "no progress was achieved" during the quartet meeting between Arab League chief Amr Moussa, Gen. Michel Aoun, former President Amin Gemayel and MP Saad Hariri. He said, however, that Moussa's mission did not fail "because it … showed that the other party does not want to hold elections in the country."
