This comes during a Council meeting headed by the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, tonight at the Baabda Palace, to follow up on the latest developments.
At the beginning of the session, Aoun greeted the Lebanese army, the civil defense and the fire department, for the tremendous efforts they made today to besiege and extinguish the fire that broke out in the port of Beirut, considering that “it is no longer acceptable make mistakes of any kind that start such fires. He saw what happened today. ” It can be an act of sabotage or the result of technical error, ignorance or negligence. In all cases, the cause must be known as soon as possible and those responsible must be held accountable. “
The President of the Republic stressed that “the work should focus on studying effective measures so that what happened does not happen again. He requested the formation of a committee headed by the Minister of Public Works and Transportation that includes representatives of the security services and the port company, with the aim of establishing a new organization for work in the port and guaranteeing citizen security in it “.
For his part, Acting Prime Minister Hassan Diab described what happened today as “a new stab at all Lebanese, and a great disdain and insult to the State and society, asking to accelerate the investigation to determine the responsibilities and the need for clear answers to people’s questions. “
