One month ago, every single party was calling for change, however the election did not bring anything new to Lebanon. The majority defended its position, while the opposition maintained it’s parliamentary block almost as it is.
Best of all, Nabih Berri was re-elected today as the speaker of the Lebanese parliament! (Did you hear the gunfire in Beirut??)
If the majority was really serious about its program, it should have proceeded with electing Okab Sakr or one of the pro March 14 Shi’a to replace Berri and go further with forming a government that is all made up of pro March 14 ministers. Let them rule with an iron fist and show the Lebanese people how good they can do!
But seems like everyone is happy with maintaining his position, and the joke was on the people. What change were they all (be it March 8 or 14) promising with people like Berri in authority? (w 3a shiklo shakshiklo!)
Anyway, I leave you now with some pictures of people celebrating Nabih Berri’s “victory” today, they speak for themselves.
Recall, he was competing with no one! Why were they crazily celebrating?
