Manifesto: Towards a Productive and Equitable Telecommunications Sector in Lebanon
We oppose treating the telecommunications sector as a means to impose indirect tax on Lebanon’s residents. We instead call for and work towards a sector that provides essential services and serves as a cornerstone of economic development and freedom of expression. To this day, successive governments and ministers of telecommunications have approached the sector as a cash cow, prioritizing personal gains while burdening the population under the harshest conditions, including the economic crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the recent war and its aftermath.
