The "Diyar" learned that President Berri has not halted his consultations regarding the presidential election. He has held media-free meetings over the past two days with several MPs and members of blocs, continuing the efforts and consultations he began over the past two weeks. According to the sources, these consultations have not yielded significant results yet, but they are ongoing. President Berri, as previously reported, does not intend to call for a new election session if it would resemble past sessions. He is striving to create an atmosphere conducive to a session in which votes would be cast for competing candidates, ultimately leading to the election of a President for the Republic.
Regarding Bkerke, the efforts initiated by Patriarch Raï to sponsor a Christian parliamentary dialogue have not yet resulted in positive outcomes. The situation has been further complicated by the heated and fiery debate that erupted in the past 48 hours between the Free Patriotic Movement and the Lebanese Forces concerning various issues, including the legislative session. Christian parliamentary sources informed Diyar that despite the tense atmosphere, Bkerke's efforts have not come to a dead end, and Patriarch Raï will continue his endeavors to shape the Christian parliamentary dialogue meeting and how the representation will take place.
