Minister Salim Jreissati announced on Tuesday "the commitment of the bloc to reforms and to the corrective path in the budget, while respecting the principle of separation of powers, as we know that the budget is a legislative instrument par excellence."
Jreissati's words came after the weekly meeting of the Strong Lebanon parliamentary bloc, whereby he stressed that "the bloc values the work of the Committee on Finance and Budget, which will not adopt populism, as confirmed by its president."
The minister pointed out that "the economic and financial situation is difficult and we do not have the luxury of adventure. All of us must shoulder the responsibility of rescuing the country."
"The head of the bloc, Gebran Bassil, has stressed the strength of understanding with the Future Movement and Prime Minister Saad Hariri, because it is the basis for the country's political, security, economic and financial stability," he added.
