There are two proposals concerning Civil Defense that were discussed, and the representative of Civil Defense was asked to prepare the clarifications requested in the committee and return to it within one month from this date.

The agenda included a number of items. The first is the bill aimed at separating the village of Dableh - Qazhayya - Minieh-Danniyeh district - North Governorate. This project provides great relief. This town is having a municipality established in it for the first time, and there was a problematic point hindering the municipality from carrying out its work.

The Defense, Interior and Municipalities Committee held a session today, in the presence of the ministers of interior and defense, Director General of Finance George Maaraoui representing the Ministry of Finance—because the minister is traveling—a representative of Civil Defense, the Director General of Municipalities, and representatives of the Internal Security Forces and the Army Command.

What is more dangerous than all of that is persisting in undermining the powers of the Prime Minister to marginalize his role, and obstructing the attempt to reform the banks.

It is a stab at his own signature, and against reforms under the pretext of protecting sectarian privileges.

Regardless of the constitutional right, the President of the Republic has set a new precedent we have not witnessed since the signing of the Taif Agreement, by challenging an article in a bill submitted by the government to reform the banks, bearing his signature and the signature of the Prime Minister.
