Tabhoub: Umma Party Bloc Opposed to Property Expropriation
MP Dima Tohboub confirmed that the members of the Umma Party did not participate in the voting on the Real Estate Ownership Bill, which allows the state to seize lands for the purpose of constructing roads without compensation. The bloc refused to vote on this decision. This comes after the House of Representatives approved an amendment that defines the addition of railways to the category of roads, allowing the seizure of no more than a quarter of the property’s area without compensation. This is despite the opposition voiced by the majority during the previous session, which argued that roads benefit property owners and increase the value of their land, while railways could have negative effects, decreasing land value and fragmenting properties.
