The Head of the Land Transport Sector Federations and Unions Bassam Tlais said that the union insists on easing the burdens on citizens, while the authority is evading its responsibility.”

He added that the fuel crisis will worsen in the coming few days, that’s why we are preparing for our move next Wednesday.

Tlais said during a radio interview: “I am calling on the government and Prime Minister Najib Mikati, to approve the scheme to support the transport sector, because people can no longer bear the burdens.”

Tlais considered that “the drivers went alone to the street, in order to express their anger, because they are unable to work in such dreadful situation.”
