NNA - "Kataeb" party leader, MP Sami Gemayel, on Tuesday met General Labor Confederation Head, Dr. Bechara Al-Asmar, and Pharmacists' Syndicate Head, Joe Salloum, who briefed him on the details of the general strike called forth by the union on February 8 all throughout Lebanon.
For his part, Salloum called for an immediate election of a new Lebanese president, warning that otherwise the lengthily awaited president will be elected by “the street”.
Al-Asmar said that the strike that is planned to take place in February was of a comprehensive nature, taking into account the country’s general security situation.
