In a statement, bodies, public sector associations, and civilian and military retirees rejected the recent decisions of the Council of Ministers, which “disappointed expectations, as they do not meet the minimum requirements and legitimate rights.”
The statement also affirmed, “Insistence and adherence to correcting salaries and pensions according to the index of high prices and inflation, provided that the principle of symmetry is adopted between all sectors in active service and retirement.”
He called for “determining a fixed exchange rate for calculating salaries and pensions, and adhering to providing all the financial funds required for medicine and hospitalization for employees and retirees, especially for the internal security forces, customs, the state employees’ cooperative, and the university’s mutual fund.”
He held “the government and parliament responsible for obstructing the holding of municipal and elective elections, the presidency of the republic, the fate of the academic year, official and university exams, and disrupting public sector institutions.”
And while the bodies kept their sessions open, “to keep abreast of developments, take the required escalatory steps, and call on all those affected to remain fully prepared to keep pace with the decisions,” records, on the other hand, “pride and appreciation for all those who participated in these sit-ins in Beirut and the regions that did not stop until the demands were met.”
