The Lebanese Parliament is heading to hold a legislative session that is expected to be surrounded by intense debates, amid an agenda that includes urgent living, security and economic items, most notably the “Aman” and electricity projects, in addition to the files of digital transformation and the security situation in the capital.
In this context, MP Waddah Al-Sadiq, in a statement to Lebanon Debate from Parliament, confirmed that the session will not be free of tensions, anticipating renewed political debates similar to what the previous session witnessed. Al-Sadiq accused the representatives of the “Loyalty to the Resistance” bloc of insisting on betraying representatives who disagree with them in opinion and using the phrase “Israel group,” stressing that the Lebanese know very well who brought Israel into Lebanon.
On the livelihood front, Al-Sadiq stressed that approving the “Aman” project has become an inevitable necessity for hundreds of thousands of families to depend on it, warning at the same time that dropping the financial allocation allocated to the electricity sector heralds an additional decline in feeding hours.
Regarding economic and financial matters, Al-Sadiq expressed his strong objection to the cost of the digital transformation loan amounting to $150 million, pointing out that its benefits are estimated at about $80 million. He wondered why offers submitted by several countries and companies to implement the project via the “BOT” formula were rejected without any financial investment for the Lebanese treasury, and benefiting from government expertise, stressing that this file will spark disputes and skirmishes inside the hall.
Regarding the security file, Al-Sadiq warned against “security chaos” in Beirut, considering that the current situation has become unacceptable. He criticized the absence of a heavy deployment of the army and security forces and the lack of tangible field action regarding the disarmament file in the capital, stressing that he would formally present these developments during the session.
