Atallah Challenges Lebanon Energy Ministry
MP Ghassan Atallah revealed details about the Marj Bireh issue, accusing the opposition parties of the dam project of remaining silent now. He directed criticism at the Ministry of Energy, blaming it for the failure in managing the water and electricity sectors. He pointed out that chemical wastes from the Jiyé and Dier Amar plants had been transported to Marj Bireh and buried there, questioning why those opposed to the project had not taken action. He emphasized that the dam project was intended to supply water to the Chouf region, the Chouf coast, and Beirut, while also offering environmental, tourism, and economic opportunities. However, its transformation into a dump for chemical waste is considered an environmental failure. He questioned the role of the Ministry of Energy in managing these sites. In conclusion, Atallah considered that the government's performance in the water, energy, and environment sectors has been a failure, and that it is the Lebanese people who are paying the price.
