The answer is not withdrawal for wealth
The statements from the Free Patriotic Movement focused on the fact that the solution to Lebanon's electricity crisis does not lie in abstention or reducing governmental presence. Instead, it should be achieved by operating power plants such as Zouk and Jiyé, rather than relying on ongoing government support to purchase fuel oil. They pointed out that the Minister of Energy has wasted 700 million dollars of Electricité du Liban’s funds and is pressuring to obtain additional support without improving service quality, which increases citizens’ costs annually and consolidates the control of major generator owners. They also criticized the ministry’s policies regarding the tariffs of private generators and the increased markup on gasoline, emphasizing that these policies exacerbate the financial suffering of Lebanese people. In another context, they warned about the dangers of disguised resettlement and continued to call for solidarity with Palestine. They rejected linking Lebanon’s fate to any war outside the country’s decision. Additionally, they noted the ongoing politicization of the Syrian refugee issue, with the exploitation of rented schools to open the door for registering Syrian students at the expense of Lebanese students, threatening the continued attendance of Lebanese children in their official schools.
