The Lebanese capital, Beirut, on Sunday, witnessed a central protests under the title "Sunday of Unity."
The demonstrations began in Lebanon since the seventeenth of last October.
Calls were made to participate in this demonstration to continue popular pressure to speed up the appointment of parliamentary consultations to appoint a new prime minister, after the resignation of Saad Hariri late October under pressure from the street.
The popular movement emphasizes the continuation of its movements until the realization of demands, especially the conduct of immediate parliamentary consultations to form government technocrats. It will manage the financial crisis and reduce the burden of public debt, which amounts to $ 86 billion.
Protesters are demanding the new government to hold early parliamentary elections in accordance with a non-sectarian civil law. They need to ensure proper representation, and a serious campaign against corruption, including the adoption of laws on the independence of the judiciary and the recovery of looted public funds.
On the other hand, the Free Patriotic Movement, to which President Michel Aoun belongs, called on his supporters to demonstrate in front of the Presidential Palace in Baabda near Beirut.
The move comes in support of the president Aoun and the current president of Free Patriotic Movement Gebran Gerge Bassil, who faced harsh criticism during the demonstrations.
Tens of thousands of Lebanese from different parts of the country went to the city of Tripoli in northern Lebanon, on Saturday, where they demonstrated against corruption and the political class.
The popular movement has paralyzed Lebanon for two weeks, including shutting down banks, schools, and universities and cutting off key roads in several areas.
But in recent days, life has gradually returned to normal, with banks and some schools reopening.
