The article discusses protests and marches in Beirut, rejecting the government's decision to installment the retroactive implementation of public sector salary hikes for one year, and demanding that salaries be paid in full upfront. Former tenants also demonstrated to demand a freeze on the rent law, which they consider "displacing" low-income tenants, while students enrolled in private universities protested to urge the government to regularize their status. Simultaneously, a group of retired military personnel and public sector employees gathered in front of the Parliament, calling on Prime Minister Najib Mikati to rescind the installment decision.
