Samir Geagea, the leader of the “Lebanese Forces” political party expressed his surprise about the government’s decision to break with the Lebanese tradition of moving the clock forward by one hour each March. This tradition is a common practice in most countries worldwide. He believes that this decision will have a negative impact on various business sectors, in particular air traffic and international companies that operate with Lebanese companies and markets. Geagea urged the government to reverse its decision before it’s too late, and avoid putting too much pressure on the business sector in Lebanon.
The head of the “Lebanese Forces” party, Samir Geagea, tweeted on his Twitter account, writing: I am surprised by the government’s decision not to follow the tradition that has been practiced in Lebanon for decades by moving the clock forward by one hour in March of each year, which is still until now approved in most countries of the world.
He added: This measure taken by the government will hinder many businesses, especially at the level of air traffic and international companies that have a relationship with Lebanese companies, markets and other sectors.
Geagea concluded: The government is called upon to reverse its decision before it is too late, that is, before tomorrow evening, and before it puts much of the business sector in Lebanon in front of many additional difficulties.
In conclusion, the decision of the Lebanese government not to follow the tradition of moving the clock forward by one hour in March has caused concern among many Lebanese citizens and business leaders. Samir Geagea, the head of the “Lebanese Forces” party, has urged the government to reconsider its decision before it creates additional difficulties for the business sector. It remains to be seen whether the government will heed this call and take action before it is too late. We will continue to monitor this situation closely and report on any developments.
