Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Elias Bou Saab pointed out that Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri asks for what he wants, and we ask for what we want, but Prime Minister Najib Mikati is the one who made a mistake in his decision since he cannot amend a decree by a circular. He also noted that he does not agree with the unacceptable reactions to the decision. In an interview with MTV, he said, "I have an objection to the way the leader of the 'Free Patriotic Movement' Gibran Bassil spoke on Sunday; it is provocative to a segment of people, and mistakes cannot be addressed with such speech."
