The Delegation of the European Union issued a statement with the diplomatic missions of the EU Member States, Norway, and Switzerland to Lebanon, concerned about the current situation in Lebanon.

Urging the municipal election to be held according to schedule, which is essential to secure functioning state institutions.  

"We reiterate our call on all stakeholders to act responsibly for the full implementation of the prior actions agreed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and our readiness to support Lebanon on a path towards macro-economic and financial stability and growth, which requires structural reforms," urged the Delegation of the European Union in a statement.  

Voicing that the 2023 state budget needs to address the devaluation of civil servants' salaries to allow them to continue their work and benefit the Lebanese people.
