Strong Lebanon Bloc: Lebanon Can't Bear Any Delay in Electricity Plan
The Free Patriotic Movement-led Strong Lebanon bloc warned Tuesday that “Lebanon and its economy cannot bear any delay in approving the electricity plan.”
“All options are on the table” as to the tendering process, MP Ibrahim Kanaan announced after the bloc's weekly meeting.
“There is correlation between the state budget and the electricity file, which is lowering deficit,” Kanaan noted.
“Why is the state budget being delayed? It should have been already passed. We want it to be referred with reforms and the spiteful policy that we witnessed in the past should stop,” he added.
Kanaan also stressed that “there is international and local consensus on the need for financial reform through the state budget.”
