The Strong Lebanon parliamentary bloc on Tuesday called the government to speed up the ongoing negotiations with the International Monetary Fund in order to determine Lebanon's need of funds.
The bloc, which convened in a periodic meeting under MP Gebran Bassil's chairmanship, also urged the government to finalize appointments, especially within the Central Bank and the affiliated institutions.
"Time is pressing, and stalling will take a toll on the financial and livelihood condition," the bloc said in a statement.
On a different note, the bloc renewed rejection of "lies" regarding the Selaata power plant, reminding that the location was selected in 1978.
Furthermore, conferees highlighted the necessity to help private schools amid threats of closure due to the ailing financial situation. Accordingly, the bloc indicated that it had decided to submit a law proposal to support the sector with LBP 300 billion.
Moreover, the bloc upped calls upon the government and the Minister of Justice to endorse a decree on the repatriation of "those who fled to occupied Palestine."
