Lebanese Union Prefers Government Resignation

The head of the Lebanese Federation of Workers and Employees' Unions expressed his astonishment at the issuance of Decree No. 3214, which imposes new environmental fees on goods and products. He considered it a step added to the record of arbitrary taxation that threatens the poor and the middle class and increases the cost of living. He also noted that the funds previously collected were sufficient to establish modern factories but were lost due to corruption. He called for freezing the decree and revealing previous accounts, stressing that the government should resign honorably rather than impose taxes on the people amid difficult economic conditions.
