Change and Reform bloc expressed surprise Tuesday over Kataeb Party’s stance in terms of the waste management file.
“The Kataeb Party refused to pull out from the Cabinet when a decision to establish landfills was approved,” the bloc said.
It also condemned, following its weekly meeting, Verdun’s bombing, saying “We are waiting for the court’s judgment in this regard.”
A bomb exploded outside the headquarters of Lebanese BLOM Bank in central Beirut on Sunday, causing damage but no fatalities, Interior Minister Nouhad Mashnouq said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
The Lebanese banking sector has been at the center of an escalating crisis since the United States passed a law requiring banks to take steps to target the finances of the armed Shi'ite political group Hezbollah.
Lebanon's central bank has pushed its commercial banks to heed the U.S. act, and BLOM Bank is one of those that has closed accounts belonging to people suspected of links to Hezbollah. The group had no immediate comment on the blast.
The Lebanese Red Cross said two people had suffered minor injuries in the blast, which took place around 8 p.m. in the Verdun area of Beirut.
The building was damaged, with one hole in a concrete wall, and shattered glass had fallen to the ground from several storeys up.
Commenting on the telecommunications file, the bloc warned against procrastination and discretionary regarding the dossier related to the state-owned Telecoms Company Ogero.
As for the controversial Janna dam, it stressed that “all the campaigns affecting people related or unrelated to said dam will not pass without judicial accountability, for they include defamation and slander.”
