إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat has reportedly bought a 20,000-square-meter land parcel near the Safa stadium in Beirut for 10 million dollars.

Al-Akhbar daily said Friday that Jumblat is negotiating with the owners of shacks on the land to vacate their homes in return for financial compensation.

The Druze leader has also bought several land plots in an area that falls between his home in Clemenceau and the Ain al-Mreisseh seafront.

When asked by Voice of Lebanon radio station about the alleged deals, Minister Alaeddine Terro, who represents Jumblat’s bloc in the cabinet, said he had no idea about the issue.

Why is this news? Maybe he's trying to protect what little culture remains in Beirut. He's done a pretty good job in the Chouf Mountains.
