Works are already underway at Ramleh el Baida, whereas excavators were spotted destroying one of the entrances to Beirut’s legendary coastline. It’s only a matter of time before Beirut’s last public beach no longer becomes accessible to the public.
A year ago, Public Works Minister Ghazi Zeaiter vowed to prevent the closure of Beirut’s only public beach but privatization is already underway and Beirut Municipality and the government are the ones to blame.
This beach belongs to the people and should remain public instead of being turned into luxury projects that cater to the wealthy.
First of all Good Samaritan , not only this beach is supposed to be public but all beaches in Lebanon and 2nd , last time i checked it was the pple who encouraged this act since they wanted to invest the small spots on the shores , they started the trend not the government , and they started the exuberating prices trend
Last time i checked the pple started the trend of exuberating luxurious public beaches In Lebanon
The major problem in Lebanon is in justice ,examples are numerous and the Solidere case is the most evident one.
All of Lebanon is for sale to the highest bidder
Correction: All of Lebanon has been sold over and over again amigo.
Mabrouk to those who voted for the Byerteh list. Well deserved.
