Basil: Lebanese Forces' power plan splits Lebanon
The article focused on the failure of the electricity sector management in Lebanon, where the leader of the Free Patriotic Movement, Gebran Bassil, emphasized that the current situation is unacceptable and reflects repeated failures. This is especially true after the electricity supply hours dropped to zero, despite previous promises to provide 24-hour electricity. Bassil compared the 2010 plan, which aimed for sustainable electricity at reasonable costs, with the current 2026 plan, which relies on dividing Lebanon into small regions that allow profit-sharing between mafia groups and elites. This approach leads to increased corruption and the fracturing of the country. The article also highlights the large sums wasted on subsidizing electricity and purchasing fuel (diesel) at unjustified high prices, along with accusations of manipulating the true source of the fuel and corruption scandals related to the ships involved. It concludes with a call to reveal the true extent of waste through forensic auditing, reaffirming that the numbers show current policies are causing losses amounting to billions of dollars annually to both citizens and the state. The solution, according to the article, requires regaining control of the sector and rationalizing expenditures.
