W300

President Michel Aoun on Sunday greeted Lebanese workers as the country marked Labor Day, pledging that he will continue to work for “transforming Lebanon’s economy from a rentier economy into a productive one.”

“From the middle of the difficult circumstances that we are suffering, I address an appreciation salutation to every Lebanese worker,” Aoun said in a statement.

“I pledge to the Lebanese and to workers that I will continue to work to dispel the clouds of the crises that resulted from years of accumulations, for which Lebanon’s workers paid hefty prices,” the President added.

They can make “the biggest contribution in transforming Lebanon’s economy from a rentier economy into a productive one that would keep our country’s sons in their homeland and grant them a promising future,” Aoun went on to say.

Workers' rights have evaporated in Lebanon. No decent jobs for most people, forced to live on degrading meager help from politicians. Lebanon is occupied, poor, isolated and destitute because a militia created and armed by Iranian radicals is pretending it needs its rocket to liberate Shebaa Farms. Have you ever dared to verify if Shebaa is Lebanese not Syrian? Have you ever dared to demarcate and secure our borders with Syria? You are a despicable traitor protected by Basij arms, worst corruption ever, disgraceful nepotism, and myriad of political appointments. We're not afraid of your bullies or Hizbolla's Basij. If Ukrainians can resist Russia barbarism, so we can and will bring you to justice, Mr worst president ever in human history.
