Member of the “Democratic Gathering”, MP Faisal al-Sayegh, tweeted today on the importance of Lebanese expatriates’ participation in the upcoming parliamentary elections, saying: “More than six billion dollars were transferred during the past year from expatriates to their families in Lebanon, which contributed greatly to alleviating the effects of the economic collapse and avoiding total chaos…This amount came without any conditions, and can be doubled through investments in the event that the Lebanese population is convinced that we are on the verge of serious reforms. Therefore, it is required that the expatriates participate in shaping the future of Lebanon and that their voices be heard by partaking in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
