Hizbullah Bloc Warns over Govt. Delay, Power Cuts

Hizbullah's Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc warned Thursday over the government formation deadlock and cautioned that power cuts in some regions are threatening to trigger a “popular explosion.”

“Awaiting regional changes or betting that others will back down from their final stances on the standards required for the formation of the government will only lead to further time waste,” the bloc said in a statement issued after its weekly meeting.

“It will contribute to complicating the mission, aggravating the pressing social crisis and dealing with Lebanon as an arena for the service of others,” Loyalty to Resistance cautioned.

Separately, it addressed the Energy Ministry and Electricité Du Liban, warning that “imbalanced power rationing between the Lebanese regions is threatening the explosion of some social situations.”

"The Tyre, Nabatiyeh, Bint Jbeil, Baalbek-Hermel and Dahieh regions once again raise their voice to push the ministry and the company to take the initiative, avoid the worse and translate their former promises into action,” the bloc added.
