Government Failures and External Hurdles

The article discusses the political and economic crisis facing Lebanon, highlighting the government's inability to address everyday issues such as living conditions and electricity shortages. It also points out the lack of financial resources necessary to provide social support. This situation occurs amidst pressure from the International Monetary Fund, which demands no increases in pensions or social benefits due to the unavailability of funds. As a result, the government is compelled to raise indirect taxes, placing an additional burden on citizens. The article criticizes widespread corruption and the failure to implement essential tax reforms, noting the collusion of financial officials and limited political changes that do not lead to real transformation. It concludes that solutions can only be achieved through comprehensive political change, progressive tax reforms, and the government ceasing reliance on indirect taxes to restore economic stability and promote development.
