The second strike, called by economic authorities in Lebanon, ends Saturday, November 30, 2019 after all private companies have closed their doors for two days. In this context, the economic authorities of Lebanon (which include unions, trade unions and commercial chambers) have explained in a statement that the movements will continue until the government has still not been formed.
Since the resignation of the government of Saad Hariri, October 29, 2019 following the pressure of popular protests, the protesters call for the formation of a government of technocrats to manage the economic and political situation in a country experiencing its worst economic crisis since the civil war (1975 and 1990).
The economic authorities explained the decision of the general strike by the fact that the political forces did not live up to their national responsibility and did not propose any way out of the crisis while the financial and social economic situation reached an unprecedented complexity.
In addition, experts have said that 50% of companies and companies are in danger of bankruptcy and that the majority of them will be forced either to make collective redundancies or to lower or block wages.
Lebanon has been living under popular protests since the 17th of last month, when protesters call for early elections, to recover confiscated property, to oust the current political class and to fight against corruption and poverty.
