Lebanon: Withdrawing is not the answer
The article addresses the political and financial crisis in Lebanon concerning the electricity issue. It criticizes the political council of the "Free Patriotic Movement" for the actions of Minister of Energy Joe Saade, who failed to secure reliable electricity despite spending $700 million of the Lebanese Electricity Company’s resources. The article also suggests that the solution lies in operating electricity production plants such as Zouk and Jiyé, instead of relying on repeated government subsidies and assistance from fuel cartels. Additionally, the article discusses the impact of the ministry's policies on citizens, highlighting that Lebanese families spend over $5 billion annually on private generators due to nepotistic decisions affecting generator tariffs and increasing profits for their owners. It also emphasizes Palestinian solidarity and rejects the idea of linking Lebanon’s fate to any external conflicts. On another front, the article reviews the ongoing policy within the Ministry of Education to marginalize Lebanese students by unofficially registering Syrian students, which deepens the problem of covert migration and damages the Lebanese public education system.
