March 14: Lebanese state needs to regain authority over its territories to achieve social reform
The March 14 General Secretariat held on Wednesday its weekly meeting and issued a statement in which it highlighted the need for the Lebanese state to regain its complete authority throughout its territories as a means to achieve social reform.

“Resolving social issues and addressing daily demands can only come in the form of a political solution residing in the state regaining its authority,” the statement added.

It made its comments in reference to the demands of the Union Coordination Committee for the approval of a new wage scale.

Public sector employees and teachers from across Lebanon held on Wednesday their biggest demonstration yet against MPs studying the controversial wage scale.

The UCC, a coalition of private and public school teachers and public sector employees, also called for massive participation in the march in an attempt to further pressure on lawmakers.

It resumed its movements a couple of weeks ago calling on the authorities to pass the pay scale, which stipulates a wage hike.

The decision to revive movements came as a result of the failure of the Joint Parliamentary Committees to resolve the dispute on the Value Added Tax in a proposal aimed at securing the funds for the salary scale that was approved by former Prime Minister Najib Mikati's cabinet.

Former PM Mikati's cabinet endorsed the new salary scale for public employees in 2012, ending a long dispute that had triggered several sit-ins and strikes held by the UCC.

President Michel Sleiman signed the decree mid-June 2013 and it was referred to the Joint Parliamentary Committees for further examination, however the law was never passed.
