Judicial assistants held a protest sit-in for the second consecutive day in the Hall of Lost Steps at the Beirut Palace of Justice and across various Lebanese courthouses, rejecting the state's continued procrastination in implementing a cabinet decision to pay six salaries to the public sector.
The National News Agency reported that "judicial assistants held, for the second consecutive day, a protest sit-in in the Hall of Lost Steps at the Beirut Palace of Justice, and in various Lebanese courthouses, in commitment to the statement issued by their committees, rejecting 'the continued procrastination of the state and its evasion of implementing the cabinet decision issued on 16/2/2026 stipulating the payment of the six salaries allocated to the public sector, which remain to this day hostage to stalling and procrastination.'"
It explained that they "renewed their demand to correct the unfair transportation allowance, following the insane rise in fuel prices, which has rendered the current transportation allowance devoid of any real value, amid the suffocating economic and living conditions under which employees' families are suffering. They called on the Council of Representatives and the Council of Ministers jointly to expedite the payment of the six due salaries and to do justice to public sector employees, warning of reaching the stage of a major explosion, the full responsibility for whose consequences and repercussions on the public facility and the judicial and administrative order in the country lies solely with the authority."
