Lebanon: A protest in Riad El Solh Square under the slogan "We don’t trust this government"

Following the executive office of the National Union of Trade Unions and Users in Lebanon’s call, a large crowd of workers, low-income workers and employees gathered on Tuesday in a strike at Riad El-Solh Square in Beirut under the slogan "We don’t trust this government".

The National Union of Trade Unions in Lebanon called for the "participation in the popular demonstration on Sunday, February 17th to confront the policies of impoverishment and starvation". It approved the council’s call to discuss the future steps and movements and approved several seminars to be announced at the upcoming dates.

The Executive Office of the Union expressed its "deepest condolences to George Zrik’s family," condemning what it called "the private schools’ whales, who betrayed the country to reach wealth." It renewed its demand to work on "the promotion of formal education and stop dealing with education like a business at the expense of the public school ".
