BEIRUT: The businessmen complaining that the political crisis inLebanon is harming the economy are the ones to blame for evading taxes and robbing the country, Free Patriotic Movement chiefMichel Aoun said Tuesday.
“Perhaps the financial situation of individuals and households is not good, but the overall economic situation in Lebanon is very good,” Aoun said in a news conference after the weekly Change and Reform Bloc meeting.
“But Lebanon is being robbed, and this is why [the state] is not giving the Lebanese their rights.”
