Al-Kataeb: No separate state or economy
The article focused on the Lebanese Kataeb Party's stance regarding Hezbollah's arms and its role in destabilizing Lebanon's stability and politics. The political bureau emphasized that the era of stagnation concerning arms outside the state's control is over. It pointed out that such arms have caused destruction in Lebanon, led to Israel occupying several areas, and perpetuate ongoing crises. The bureau called on the government to confine weapons and security decisions to the state, and to empower the Lebanese army to exercise its authority over the entire territory. It also stressed the need to eliminate the parallel economy rooted in smuggling and tax evasion, which harm revenue and foster corruption. The statement linked the economic situation to the security and political environment, warning that the continued presence of arms outside state authority leads to economic and political decline, obstructs investments, and fuels chaos. It reaffirmed support for the government’s efforts in its negotiations with the International Monetary Fund, urging the swift approval of necessary legislative reforms to improve Arab and international support and to safeguard the country's future.
