The Union Coordination Committee staged a sit-in Thursday at the intersection leading to the Baabda presidential palace to call for immediately implementing the new pay scale law.
Nehme Mahfoud hoped via LBCI that President Michel Aoun would put an end to this “farce,” calling for paying the salaries based on the law. He threatened to resort to further escalation in case the cabinet fails to meet their demand.
A debate had erupted between the protesters and the security forces, who asked the formers to change the location of their sit-in.
