On Sunday, thousands of Lebanese gathered in Riad al-Solh Square in downtown Beirut to demand the formation of a competent government on the 25th day of the popular movement.
Thousands of demonstrators flocked to Riad al-Solh Square in central Beirut, demanding the formation of a technocratic government.
The group called "My Right" to participate in the protests to form an interim government with exceptional powers, and called on the Lebanese street to go down to the squares and demonstrate until the realization of his demands.
The group active in the protests called on the Lebanese street to go down to the squares and squares and continue to demonstrate until the demands of the people are fulfilled.
In a statement received by Sky News Arabia, the group demanded the formation of an interim mini-government with extraordinary legislative powers, outside the political authority, to: Guarantees the correctness of our representation, with the voting age reduced to 18 years. "
In Nabatieh, demonstrators marched through the streets, shouting slogans and chanting their throats with patriotic songs.
Observers praised the boldness of the demonstrators, who have been under pressure from Hezbollah and Amal supporters since the protests began to prevent them from moving in tandem with protests elsewhere.
This is the fourth consecutive Sunday of the protest movement launched in Lebanon on October 17, and led to the resignation of Prime Minister Saad Hariri.
Lebanese protesters continue demonstrations to emphasize the continuation of the popular movement against the ruling class, amid their insistence on fulfilling their demands for the improvement of their lives.
In recent days, demonstrators have called on Lebanese President Michel Aoun to start parliamentary consultations in order to appoint a new prime minister following Hariri's resignation.
Protesters are demanding the formation of a competent government and early parliamentary elections that will lift the country out of Lebanon's political crisis for years under successive governments that have failed to provide a panacea for citizens.
The Lebanese president has been engaged in preliminary contacts focusing on the formation of a cabinet, but the identity of the new prime minister has not been decided.
With the refusal of Lebanese political parties to form a competent government devoid of politicians, with Hariri's adherence to it, has not yet resolved the return of Hariri to head a new government.
