Journalists Support Public Sector Meeting
The National Meeting of Public Sector Employees confirmed that the new Media Law approved represents a serious setback for public and media freedoms in Lebanon. It aims to subjugate the media to political authority, threatening citizens’ right to criticize and inquire about corruption. The meeting called for opposing the law through legal and judicial means, including challenging it before the Constitutional Council, emphasizing that any restriction on media freedoms risks eroding institutions and hindering oversight and accountability. It also stressed that safeguarding public and media freedoms is essential for building a strong state, and that national sovereignty requires the non-interference of embassies in Lebanese legislative affairs. Additionally, it called for increased union and popular movements to defend workers' rights and the rights of unions.
