Head of the “Independence Movement” MP Michel Moawad stressed “the need to be aware that our economic and financial situation is on the verge of abyss,” stressing that “the Lebanese government is facing great responsibilities imposed on it to take exceptional measures commensurate with the exceptional situation in which the country is going through.” He stressed the adherence to coexistence in the north, declaring not to allow “neither the deal makers nor the owners of interests to strike the unity of our society and we will not allow the government blundering to get people to confront each other.” He called on Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri to take a serious decision on any landfill he deems appropriate without retracting it after 24 hours.
