Head of the Free Patriotic Movement, MP Gebran Bassil, pointed out, "Our position on the amnesty law is well-known, which is that any country that passes an amnesty law every ten years is a country that encourages the commission of crimes and proves the principle of impunity. We are not in favor of oppressing a group of people by spending years in prison without trial, and we are in favor of any formula that allows this injustice to be lifted." He explained, "There have been errors regarding the issue of amnesty, including those who were deliberately killed, drug dealers, and other types of crimes. This is why we are against this law. Regardless of the person of the minister, his sect, and his affiliation, he is, according to the sect, an existing constitutional authority in his own right, and no one can prevent him from exercising his duties, and Article 67 of the Constitution is clear." Bassil stated, "What happened today is that the Minister of Defense wanted to give the army's opinion on this matter because the pardon includes military killers, and he was prevented from doing so, knowing that it does not conflict with the authority of the Prime Minister, especially since this law came from the representatives and not the government, and what happened with the Minister of Defense conflicts with the Council's internal regulations. The Minister was prevented from speaking and left the session crying because army killers are being pardoned, and this matter we do not accept." He stressed that "we objected and tried to find solutions for the minister to come and express his opinion, and we sought to rationalize the issue on the basis that it is not between a minister and a prime minister, but rather by exercising powers according to the constitution. As for preventing it, it is a violation of the constitution that we will not be silent about. We appealed to the heads of the council and the government not to accept the establishment of a precedent of this kind, and in defense of the constitution and the powers of ministers, whether they are with us or against us, and we are in the opposition, and in defense of the House of Representatives and the government and our right to oversight as well as legislation. We did not accept what happened and withdrew from the meeting." "session." Bassil pointed out that "a parliament that does not carry out any reform over 7 years to return people's deposits holds 70 sessions to pardon criminals within 7 weeks. These criminals have no sect, the army has no sect, and the soul and treasure of the army are the Sunnis in Lebanon. When we defend it, we defend them. Silence about preventing the Lebanese army and the Ministry of Defense from giving their opinion in the House of Representatives is something that the Strong Lebanon Bloc and the Free Patriotic Movement cannot accept."
