Here Are Some Of The Demands Shared By The People Of The Revolution
Amidst this beautiful social revolution we’re currently witnessing, protesters are letting their demands be known loud and clear. Here are some demands we spotted:
1. To have better living conditions, in a fairly distributed economy
A protestor in central #Beirut today holds a sign reading “Return of the stolen money!” It’s a ref. to people’s frustration with paying taxes & multiple fees for basic services & widespread gov corruption, w/ no improvement to living standards/economy #لبنان#لبنان_ينتفض#بيروتpic.twitter.com/bxb1dXclPK
This is just one examples of the signs that are on the streets. The people are asking for this, it’s just not being portrayed by media channels. When politicians tried coming to the ground to ‘support’ the protests, they were kicked out by the people. pic.twitter.com/U3R0BJesnN
We demand a civilized country were the LGBT community is respected, were women are not degraded with derogatory comments, were racism is punished by law. I know today’s revolution is against corruption but this should be our next step in building a civilized country #لبنان_يتنفضpic.twitter.com/z42m6eqvmx
