Jumblat Slams FPM, Asks Why Offers from Arab Funds to Finance Electricity Plan are Rejected
Progressive Socialist Party Leader MP Walid Jumblat asked if it was true that Arab states made proposals to the Energy Ministry for financing the electricity plan but were rejected.
In his weekly editorial in the PSP-affiliated al-Anbaa magazine, Jumblat hoped that "political differences will be forgotten when development projects which are needed for the economic cycle are being presented."
He asked "where are the elite people who lecture us daily on reform and the fight against corruption? Is it true that the Arab funds submitted offers to the Department of Energy to finance the electricity plan, and these offers were rejected? in a clear reference to the Free Patriotic Movement.
On the wage increase decision, the PSP leader said that it should have occurred "after administrative reform and an accurate research in securing the financial resources needed to take this kind of decision so that we do not fall into the spiral of inflation like Greece."
He concluded by saying: "The whole world is changing, and we look forward to see social justice, freedom and dignity as headlines to these changes."
