Conflict between "economy" and generator: codification within rationalization! Spider Alankabout – News from Lebanon – News from Australia

New station linked to conflicts between the Ministry of Economy and Generator. This time the threat of darkness has turned into a two-hour reality. Between 5 and 7 in the morning, generators are excluded, in protest of "the market of some owners to investigate in a humiliating way". This is an additional reason for the remark to add the main remarks regarding the decision of the Ministry of Economy to mount the meters. But the strike failed. The ministry has become even more insistent on the challenge: we will remove the generators if they stop them, because no one can deliberately stop the public service. The challenge has also grown on the other side: they would burn our generators before they confiscated them. A summary of what happened yesterday that the population of Lebanon gets used to a new form of humiliation: codification within rationalization.

The ministries of energy and finance differed in terms of the progress of the energy vault in Lebanon. The result was a threat to the darkness. The Ministry of Economy was different from the owner of the generator, and the darkness was also the result. In both cases, the citizen is the first and last victim.

Owners of the generator, or some of the generators, switched off their generators, with a sudden decision of the Central Committee of the Assembly of the owner of the generator, they issued three hours before the fire. True, dedication was not comprehensive, but this step opened the door wide. Owners of generators decided to rebel against the decision of the Ministry of Economy to install meters, and they refused the threat and insisted on continuing to implement their decision to the end. And between the two dictatorships that, according to their party, are connected with the interests of citizens, the only damage is the citizen between the failure in performing his duties and the simplest provision of electricity to people and among the owners of the generator, who are trying to adhere to the achieved profits, after they became essentially achieved.

The Minister of Economy has already confirmed that the extinguishing of the generator is a red line and will deliberately stop this public service leading to the confiscation of the generator. They did it. But the ministry's sources repeated the threat in a better assertion. "All such ideas would lead to the confiscation and operation of generators by municipalities," she said. There are differences regarding the legality of such a step. But the owners of the generator quickly overcome the legal dispute: this step will lead to a large number of those concerned to burn their generators, says one of them, complementing his speech by saying, "Oh, to hear what's going on in the meetings … Many will hear nothing about reducing their lives and the simplest probability of their merging With their families and families of their employees on the street.

Are the conflicts for which the ministry believes are between the prestige of the state and the generational mafia, while the other party sees it as a conflict between those who burned people's houses when the state was absent and "arbitrary and random decisions". It is true that the level of objection is the highest since the beginning of the crisis, but the ministry is treated calmly with the question: it has understood the reaction of the owner of the generator. They bet on the absence of prestige of the state, so they stopped installing the counters, before they discovered that the decision was irreversible and that the offenses were pre- they will be transferred to the judiciary.

This is a key point at a press conference led by generators yesterday. One of the reasons for the escalation, according to the statement of the meeting, is "to oppose the degrading treatment that affects the dignity that has been exposed to the owners of the generators over the past few days." They complained that "they were accompanied by dozens to investigate the Criminal Investigation Department and the State Security Service after referring the prescribed records to the competent court, where they were subjected to various types of insults and interrogated for hours, all under the pretext of violating the ministry's decision as if criminals or thieves were drug dealers or warriors ". Moreover, one of them talks about how they force them to sign a state security company to install gauges within 15 days.

Owners of generators humiliate themselves on their market and listen to them for hours

Surely the question for them became a question of overcoming the bones. They consider that any subsequent actions are illegal. From the same decision to humiliate the procedure against the threat of generator confiscation, and then to the issue of specific prices per kilowatt, which in their opinion was lower than the costs, to the quality of the meters themselves. One confirms that the market is full of incompatible meters, which do not work regularly and are easily manipulated. The source claims that although most generals have rushed to install these meters, believing that they are implementing the decision of the Ministry of Economy, other generators claim that they will not drive this meter, which leads to additional losses, while there are no counters that match the specifications set by Lepneur Libyan Institution for standards) on the market. They are convinced that the question of setting a meter is related to its existence with a trader, which counts on the free patriotic movement. Worst of all, the exporter no longer imports meters on demand, contributing to further delay in implementation. But the other, Fadi Abi Akl, who does not deny his membership to the Free Patriotic Movement, says he is the most vulnerable to chaos. Abu Akl does not hesitate to charge the Ministry of Economy the primary responsibility for this chaos because it has not made its decision that all meters imported for installation must comply with the specifications approved by EDL and have a certificate of conformity issued by the Institute for Industrial Research. As for the lack of meters, he totally denies that, he has sold 20,000 meters so far and currently has 20,000 meters in warehouses, waiting for 30,000 meters to arrive soon. Does this not confirm the existence of a tendency to limit the sales of meters? The problem is not in its commitment to the law and its sale of licensed meters, but due to the failure of other traders that permitting counters fulfill conditions, while most generator owners prefer to install cheaper but not in accordance with specifications.

It is certain that chaos has become general. And that the war between the two sides has become ruthless. It is also certain that the obstruction of the owners of the generator, regardless of its purpose, reflects a concrete reality: does not anyone want to know how the electricity sector causes the state to flood about half of the public debt? It is not the first time that security, justice and state agencies have begun to investigate how Lebanon has paid $ 50 billion to reduce darkness and electricity, and still pay $ 3.5 billion a year, of which two billion for the institution's deficit, and 1.5 billion to serve a debt deducted on behalf of the institution.
