Hariri on Wage Hike: People will Pay Political Bill
Former PM Saad Hariri said Thursday that the wage hike decision made by the government is “shameful and a political bill that the Lebanese will pay from their economic future and their livelihood.”
On Wednesday, the Free Patriotic Movement, Hizbullah and Amal dealt a blow to Miqati after they voted in favor of a wage boost decree proposed by Nahhas hours after the Economic Committees and the General Labor Confederation agreed with minor changes on a previous proposal made by the PM.
Fifteen ministers voted in favor of Nahhas’ wage hike decree while 11 voted against it.
In a chat on Twitter, Hariri stressed that the Syrian regime will collapse.
Hariri added that he will follow his father, Former PM Rafiq Hariri’s path.
When asked whether “Aoun discovered lately that he is a pawn in Hizbullah’s hands”, Hariri said: “No comment.”
