The Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc denounced Thursday  the US financial sanctions imposed by the Congress Acts, describing them as a blatant aggression against Lebanon and its people.

In a statement after its periodic meeting, Hezbollah bloc maintained that the US intervention violates Lebanon’s sovereignty, calling for more solid stances in face of this American policy.

Loyalty to the Resistance bloc stressed that the government’s priority should be the approval of the 2018 state budget draft and its swift referral to the House of Parliament.

Loyalty to the Resistance also called on the government to avoid contracts and deal without supervision and to adopt recruitment exclusively through the Civil Service Council.

The bloc commended the patience demonstrated by the people of Beirut’s suburbs and their tolerance of the simmering economic situation, stressing the bloc’s keenness on the application of the law, elimination of trespasses and realization of social security. The bloc urged locals to cooperate with the security forces.
