Fistfight in Lebanese Parliament

A fight broke out this morning between MPs from the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) and the Future movement (Al-Moustaqbal) during Parliament’s Energy Committee meeting, each side accusing the other of corruption and theft.

Ironically, several MPs present haven’t paid their electricity bills for ages, some for over 10 years…

Lebanon has been suffering from severe electricity shortages while politicians unpaid bills amount to almost 800.000 dollars.
