Public employees demand 10 liters gasoline
The Public Administration Employees' Union in Lebanon emphasized the necessity for the government to approve a daily transportation allowance equivalent to 10 liters of gasoline for each working day, in order to improve the conditions of employees who are facing losses in their daily income due to the rising fuel prices, which have reached approximately $32 per tank. The union criticized the government's preference to support the private sector and burden it with the responsibility for transportation allowances, stressing that increasing the transportation allowance would cost the government less than 2.5 trillion Lebanese pounds annually, compared to the state's budget of over 614 trillion pounds. The union also threatened to escalate protests by closing official government offices and preparing sit-ins in Beirut if the government does not respond to their demands, noting that such actions could disrupt the regular functioning of public institutions.
