Jumblat Says Some Want to Destroy Judiciary to ‘Bury’ Port Probe

Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat has accused some parties of seeking to “destroy the judiciary” in order to “bury the probe” into the August 2020 catastrophic explosion at the Port of Beirut.

“The country is floundering under the weight of hunger, medicine prices and hospitalization bills, and there is not a single word about the ration card, nor a signal about reforming electricity, nor a mention of legalizing capital control,” Jumblat said in a tweet.

He added that officials are “fully evading their responsibility regarding the collapse of the lira.”

“By the way, where is support for the army? Your concern is the destruction of the judiciary in order to bury the probe,” Jumblat charged.
