Kataeb leader Samy Gemayel on Wednesday backed the residents of the North of Lebanon as they declared “Day of Rage” to protest the authority’s vacillation in finding a clear permanent solution to the waste crisis.

“We join our voice to our people in the North in support of their rejection to the establishment of landfills and to frivolous and temporary solutions that are harmful to people’s health,” Gemayel wrote on his Twitter page.

“We hope the people would demonstrate solidarity with us to face officials’ plans so that it does not harm them or damage their environment in the future alike what had occurred on the Metn coast and Baabda these days,” he added.
