Kubis: Success of measures to save Lebanon from collapse starts with support of political forces

2^min

UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon Jan Kubis urged on Monday the International Monetary Fund “to provide advice and assistance to the government when it prepares a series of tough measures and reforms needed to start moving Lebanon from the existential crisis to a sustainable development, but in a socially responsible way.”

Kubis’s comments were made on his Twitter account whereby he noted that “success of measures to save Lebanon from collapse starts with support of the political forces represented in the Parliament.”

“There they will show their true interests, not in populist demonstrations in front on banks,” he went on saying in a tweet.

On another note, Kubis stressed that the Banque Du Liban Governor Riyad Salameh informed that BDL now officially provides the Government “factual information on the situation of Lebanon, including liquidity.”

“Full Transparency, also to the public is necessary for explaining the reasons for anticipated measures, following the IMF visit,” he added.

Kubis also touched on the rights of journalists for free speech, saying that “intimidation and persecution of journalists for expressing their opinion is often a sign that they touch upon something important.”

“Efforts to silence free speech by administrative measures and harassment will never succeed and usually backfire, notably in times of crisis,” he concluded by saying.
