An argument took place that developed into screaming inside the House of Representatives after dozens of representatives were asked to vote on calling for the law subjecting contractors in the Ministry of Information to the retirement plan, while Speaker of the House of Representatives Nabih Berri announced the approval of the item and moved on to the next item. Representative Nadim Gemayel told Berri: “If I had been confident that he would not fall, I would have gone for a call-in vote,” while representatives including MP Michel Moawad, Firas Hamdan, and Elias Hankash called for a call-back vote. The debate raged, and Berri said to Firas Hamdan: “You remain silent,” while MP Qabalan Qabalan said to the protesting representatives: “If the story is hoarse, it is horrific, and if it is crying, it is crying,” to which Elias Hankash responded: “Not by hoopla, by logic... lower your voice, it will not guide you,” and the discussion is still continuing.
