The 1960 Act is the most Unfair Law
During a meeting with a delegation of Lebanon’s school of journalism alumni association, headed by Dr. Amer Mashmoushi, President Michel Aoun stressed Monday that chances were still open until June 19 to accept and approve a new electoral law, saying that the “restricted” proportionality guarantees a correct representation.
“While the Qualification law is not an election, but only a selection, the 1960 law is a very unfair law.” General Aoun said and added, “Lebanese citizens live together and they elect on a sectarian basis. If the polls can take place on the basis of the Orthodox Law for instance, they will become equal and both minorities and majorities will be represented.”
