Limestone Quarry Crisis Reemerges
The article addresses the crisis of the quarrying companies’ limestone quarries in Lebanon, where clashes are escalating between the government, the crisis monitoring committee, and environmental groups over the decision to resume operation of these quarries. The committee considers that the ruling to restart the quarries neglects the implementation of environmental decrees and poses a threat to the environment and health, while the government justifies it by ensuring cement supplies and protecting jobs. Environmental groups continue to call for a comprehensive review of the quarries, including permits and damages, warning against exploiting the crisis to serve the interests of limestone quarrying companies, with expectations of intensified legislation, popular protests, and legal confrontations.
