What they said كنعان ×

mere theorizing

The required account audits have not yet been completed, and there is a four-year delay in them.

The financial gap law must distribute obligations and burdens among the state, Banque du Liban, and the banks, and the delay was not on our side.

The state has not relinquished its right to liberate its land. The army is the guarantor for all Lebanese, and preserving this role is part of the President's strategy

Dialogue and understanding proceed from undisputed constants: Lebanon's sovereignty, the exclusive possession of arms by the state, and financial and economic reform

The official Lebanese position is the responsible position that must be rallied around, especially since the repercussions of the region's conflicts affect all its countries, including Lebanon

The official Lebanese position is responsible and must be rallied around amid the repercussions of regional conflicts

There is no possibility of raising taxes in a contracting economy and while people's money is being held in the banks.

We cannot with small policies build our homeland and recover our rights, land and sovereignty, but rather with big strategies and full conviction in our constitutional institutions and our army.

The Maronite Patriarchate, whose history extends 1,341 years, has never changed its choice, which was the state.

Building the future and establishing a strong state are not achieved through slogans and populism, but by adopting a transparent policy that serves the interest of all.

Lebanon proved in the recent phase, especially after the election of the president and the formation of the government, that it took a step toward activating the role of the state and exiting axes

We salute today the role played by the Patriarch in taking a decisive stance for the interest of the state, not the party, and the army, not the militia.

We have different types of radar operating with multiple systems, not to mention that giant tankers cannot be hidden from radar despite their concealment because their enormous size makes detecting them very easy.

The state must bear its responsibilities, as people must not be made to pay the bill for electricity or water cuts if an institution does not pay what it owes

We approved measures to tighten [controls] on the issue of tax evasion internally or at the border, and this matter applies to everyone without exceptions

There is tangible progress and we hope the government will give us answers to what we demand, especially since the closing of the accounts has not yet reached parliament.

We finished the articles of the 2026 budget law, and a number of articles related to the increase of some fees proposed by some ministries were suspended.

Stop this farce, and bear your responsibilities at least once, and do not put them on the people!

Is this cut a punishment for the institutions and the state, whose officials have for years not cared about paying their due obligations despite the allocation of annual credits in the budgets?

I learned today that the series of electricity cuts to public facilities continues, and has reached the water authority in several areas, including North Metn as well.

Stop this farce and bear your responsibilities!

Tomorrow we will begin entering the core content and we affirm that we will not accept the imposition of new fees in the budget

First, the public sector must be restructured; second, the financial gap awaiting the necessary negotiation process with the IMF must be addressed; and third, the financial accounts, which are supposed to extend to 2025, must be completed.

The financial accounts of the Lebanese state, which we have been demanding in the Finance Committee since 2010, are a fundamental issue because their absence prevents effective oversight of government work.

Until today, even if the government has referred the 2022 final account, the final accounts for the years that followed do not exist, and absent oversight is very bad.

I reminded the Finance Minister that if it becomes clear to us that there are new fees or taxes, our decision in the Finance Committee is not to proceed with them.

The presidential appeal against bank reform did not affect negotiations with the International Monetary Fund, according to the Minister of Finance, and we want a law that ensures the actual recovery of deposits.

There may be an imminent birth of the deposits recovery process, and the most important is the mechanism for financing the recovery of these deposits.

With what is available, this government has worked and reached this kind of balance, which of course does not include the possibility of what will happen.
