(MENAFN) On Sunday, hundreds of Lebanese demonstrated in capital Beirut's downtown against the new government and its policies, the National News Agency reported.
Civil society protesters stated, "If you really want to fight against corruption, bring back the money that was stolen from Paris 1, 2 and 3 conferences just as you are planning to steal CEDRE money as well".
Demonstrators called upon the government to impose taxation on the interest rate on deposits for big depositors while rising revenue taxes for banks which are the organizations that make the most revenues in the country.
Demonstrators also asked officials to obligate every minister and parliament member to show official statements for their bank accounts in Lebanon and outside the country.
