The National Front holds a sit-in in front of the Energy Ministry and threatens to escalate action in defence of livelihood demands

Lebanon ·

The National Front protested power and water cuts and rising fuel prices outside the Energy and Water Ministry building. The head of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, Rabih Bannat, the head of the Al-Raya Al-Watani party, Ali Hijazi, and the head of the Arab Current, Shaker al-Barjawi, took part in the sit-in. The group announced a series of further actions that will escalate in the coming phase to press the government on financial, living and economic issues.

Lebanon has suffered chronic electricity shortages for years, with many households relying on private generators, and the country has been in a deep economic crisis since 2019.
