Electricity disruptions during Lebanon debate
During a parliamentary session in Lebanon's House of Representatives to question the government, which concluded with a vote of confidence, the electricity was cut off twice inside the chamber. The first outage occurred while Prime Minister Nohad Machnouk was speaking, when he mentioned that over $24 billion has been spent supporting energy production, despite citizens continuing to pay their electricity and private generator bills. The second outage happened during Speaker Nabih Berri's announcement of the voting results, prompting sarcastic comments from both Machnouk and Berri about the power outage once again. Nevertheless, the parliament renewed its confidence in the government with 68 votes in favor, 12 against, and two deputies abstaining, in the absence of the "Fidelity to the Resistance" bloc, which had left the chamber before the vote.
