Murad responds to Abu Suleiman: at a government emergency meeting, we have what we say

The Minister of State for Foreign Trade, Hbadan Murad, said the consultation meeting "is really surprised by the surprise of the Minister of Labor, Kamil Abu Sulaiman, and it is clear that the Minister has not not followed what is happening on the ground, in the media and on social media platforms since the announcement of the activation of the Lebanese Labor Law. "

He added: "If the minister himself really knew what was happening in the Palestinian camps in Lebanon and in some Lebanese cities, especially the city of Sidon, understand that the consequences of the application of this law are very serious, "and stressed that all that the meeting had taken place" Advise the minister and warn him that the text inconsistent with the national interest and national stability is a text that should be treated with discernment. "

Murad's statement comes after a statement made by Abu Soliman in response to the consultation meeting, surprising his statement on the subject of labor law and saying that it was "preferable that the meeting's minister member address directly to his government colleague and not to the media ". Abu Suleiman stressed that "laws are enforced everywhere, at any time and not at the right time to apply them." He wished that the meeting read the organization plan of the non-Lebanese labor force launched last June and "the message that explains the positions of the ministry, including our position that does not reject the decrees. applicable. " That "the doors of the ministry are open to the meeting for any serious and responsible dialogue", far from the media.

"We chose the most appropriate expression when we said that what was needed, it is a good application of the law.It should be explained to the Minister that the proper application of the law is done without violating the legal texts.Al-Hbadan to legally deal with Palestinian workers in Lebanon and to dispel all the fears and concerns of the Palestinian brothers and we have applied the law without any suspicion to anyone, and without creating a climate of hostility for the benefit of predators and most of them.

Murat pointed out that "we have never asked to violate the laws, but we asked to absorb this racism, deliberately caused by the Ministry of Labor, unless it is what we wanted and what we excluded and hoped to be the goal of the department and the minister.

In response to "the clear indication of the minister that he was waiting for the minister to represent the issue in the Council of Ministers," wondered Murad. "Where are the Council of Ministers and the Government," adding, "The answer is clear, while the effects of the decision of the Minister of Labor alone are enough to convene an emergency meeting of the Lebanese government, then the Minister of the meeting will have what he says.

"What we did was a natural and logical political action, and from the first moment we all treated the minister's decision calmly, and at the first meeting we took into account our warnings and advice." What does the minister really want from the consultative meeting?

In conclusion, Mourad went to Abu Sulaiman stating: "Your decision to answer the consultative meeting was a blessing because it is the natural context of the rule of law and institutions. consider that your response has achieved a fundamental purpose of our statement, from the Ministry of Labor. "
