President of the General Labor Confederation, Bechara Al-Asmar, met with Caretaker Minister of Energy and Water, Raymond Ghajar, who clarified that “what was circulated yesterday about totally lifting the fuel subsidy is not accurate and that it comes in parallel with the subsidy card as an alternative project and with the gradual lifting of subsidies.”
Al-Asmar stressed “the necessity of having a subsidy card or any other clear alternative project to support employees, military personnel, public transport drivers, and people with limited income.”
