Member of Parliament Ali Al-Tikbali stated that the issue of lifting fuel subsidies has not been discussed in the House of Representatives. He clarified that the proposal originated with the government, not the parliament.
Al-Tikbali told Sputnik that Libya is dealing with a budget shortfall and financial difficulties, including challenges in securing salary allocations. He added that parliament has not yet addressed the matter of ending fuel subsidies. He believes it is unlikely that any action will be taken on this issue in the near future.
