إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Former PM Saad Hariri said Thursday that the wage hike decision made by the government is “shameful and a political bill that the Lebanese will pay from their economic future and their livelihood.”

On Wednesday, the Free Patriotic Movement, Hizbullah and Amal dealt a blow to Miqati after they voted in favor of a wage boost decree proposed by Nahhas hours after the Economic Committees and the General Labor Confederation agreed with minor changes on a previous proposal made by the PM.

Fifteen ministers voted in favor of Nahhas’ wage hike decree while 11 voted against it.

In a chat on Twitter, Hariri stressed that the Syrian regime will collapse.

Hariri added that he will follow his father, Former PM Rafiq Hariri’s path.

When asked whether “Aoun discovered lately that he is a pawn in Hizbullah’s hands”, Hariri said: “No comment.”

“Aoun discovered lately that he is a pawn in Hizbullah’s hands”

Aoun and his clowns are not just pawns. They are Hezbollah's step stools, shoe shiners, and towel boys. They made a deal with the terrorists so that their quirky narcissistic general can achieve the power he yearns. He couldn't care less about the Christians. He is now being elected by the populous Hezbollah supporters to provide a fig leaf to Hezbollah in the eyes of the Christian community.
