Last-minute deal delays union protests
Lebanon is experiencing a state of social tension due to rising fuel prices and declining purchasing power. The Union of Road Transport Unions has announced a strike scheduled for September 30th in protest against the government's disregard of the sector’s demands, particularly regarding an increase in transportation fares and the provision of gasoline vouchers for drivers. The government remains open to negotiations, but the final decision depends on how quickly and effectively tangible solutions are proposed before the deadline. Failure to respond could lead to wider escalation and popular mobilizations involving other sectors, potentially disrupting public movement and paralyzing services across the country.
