Retired military protests over 2027 budget raises
Retired military personnel in Lebanon have been protesting since this morning, condemning the failure to include the correction of their salaries and promotions in the 2027 budget. They blocked main roads such as Riad el Solh and Douras Roundabout, demanding an increase in the minimum wage to $1,200 to cope with rising prices of essential goods and expressing their distrust in the government's stance after its failure to meet their demands. Their protests aimed to prevent the convening of Cabinet sessions. Some protesters were transported from various areas, including the North and Beirut, as traffic authorities worked to reopen the closed roads.
