The government continues to oppress employees and break its promises to them.

The USD exchange rate on Sayrafa is currently LBP 86,300 while civil servants and retirees have received their salaries in the past two months at the exchange rate of LBP 60,000. Which means an additional loss on the salary which will drop at the end of May below the $100 threshold, if the value of the dollar on the platform remains the same today.

As for the decree to increase four additional salaries for those in service, and three for retirees, it was nothing but ink on paper. Public sector employees and retirees are preparing to return to the streets in order to put pressure on the government and the council to prevent the violation of people's rights.
