MP Hadi Aboul Hessen during parliamentary session: We grant confidence to the government in hopes of achieving reform

During the parliamentary session, MP Hadi Aboul Hessen discussed the ministerial statement and emphasized that the ministerial statement represents a social contract between the state and its people.

Aboul Hessen expressed appreciation for the spirit of the statement, noting that it aligns with their vision.

Further, he proposed the creation of a ministry for planning and highlighted the importance of dialogue between Lebanon and Syria to combat smuggling, control border crossings, and develop a plan for the safe return of displaced Syrians.

Concluding his remarks, Aboul Hessen emphasized that Lebanon's recovery depends on balance and national unity, calling for a strong and capable state. 

He announced his support for granting the government confidence, believing its approach is essential for Lebanon's stability.
