In a similar statement, the political body in the Free Patriotic Movement in Lebanon affirmed its support for the movement demanding the demonstrators, noting their support and their call not to allow any party to exploit their cause and demands to achieve declared political ends leading to chaos.

For his part, Lebanese Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil said in a statement today that the budget has been completed without any new tax or fees, canceling all projects submitted in this regard from any side and approving serious reform steps with a contribution from the banking sector and others in a way that does not affect citizens in any way. No tax, no matter how small.

In turn, Khalil Hamdan, a member of the Presidency of the Amal Movement reaffirmed the movement's support for the protest movement and said: "We are in Amal movement with the right to demonstrate. We and the demonstrators have to stand up to the tucked."
