We were surprised by MP Ali Fayad’s statement in which he considered that the demand for expatriates to vote according to their place of registration does not reflect the desire of the diaspora.
\nWe remind MP Fayad that this demand, which was achieved in the 2022 elections thanks to a long struggle waged by the diaspora, is currently the subject of a draft law submitted by a wide group of MPs and supported by more than 65 deputies from various blocs and affiliations, in addition to a popular petition signed by more than 13,000 Lebanese expatriates.
\nWe renew our call for the adoption of this just demand, and we urge all MPs to strengthen their support for this approach, which enshrines justice among all Lebanese, both residents and expatriates, and safeguards the right of expatriates to choose their representatives at the national level\u2014not within a closed district of six seats that does not reflect their diversity nor their true size.<\/p>\n

Declaraci\u00f3n de grupos libaneses en la di\u00e1spora en respuesta a las declaraciones del diputado Ali Fayad sobre el voto de los expatriados<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nos sorprendieron las declaraciones del diputado Ali Fayad, quien afirm\u00f3 que la demanda de que los expatriados voten seg\u00fan su lugar de registro no refleja el deseo de la di\u00e1spora.
\nRecordamos al diputado Fayad que esta demanda, lograda en las elecciones de 2022 gracias a una larga lucha emprendida por los expatriados, es actualmente objeto de una propuesta de ley presentada por un amplio grupo de diputados, respaldada por m\u00e1s de 65 parlamentarios de diversos bloques y afiliaciones, adem\u00e1s de una petici\u00f3n popular firmada por m\u00e1s de 13,000 libaneses en la di\u00e1spora.
\nReiteramos nuestra exigencia de que se apruebe esta demanda justa e instamos a los dem\u00e1s diputados a reforzar su apoyo a esta iniciativa, que consagra la justicia entre todos los libaneses, tanto residentes como expatriados, y garantiza el derecho de los expatriados a elegir a sus representantes a nivel nacional, y no dentro de un distrito cerrado de seis esca\u00f1os que no refleja su diversidad ni su verdadero peso.<\/p>\n

Ficamos surpresos com a declara\u00e7\u00e3o do deputado Ali Fayad, que afirmou que a demanda para que os expatriados votem de acordo com seu local de registro n\u00e3o representa o desejo da di\u00e1spora.
\nLembramos ao deputado Fayad que essa demanda, conquistada nas elei\u00e7\u00f5es de 2022 gra\u00e7as a uma longa luta travada pelos expatriados, \u00e9 atualmente objeto de um projeto de lei apresentado por um amplo grupo de parlamentares, com o apoio de mais de 65 deputados de diferentes blocos e filia\u00e7\u00f5es, al\u00e9m de uma peti\u00e7\u00e3o popular assinada por mais de 13 mil libaneses na di\u00e1spora.<\/p>\n

Reiteramos nossa exig\u00eancia pela aprova\u00e7\u00e3o dessa demanda justa e apelamos a todos os deputados para fortalecerem seu apoio a essa iniciativa, que garante justi\u00e7a entre todos os libaneses, residentes e expatriados, e protege o direito dos expatriados de escolherem seus representantes em n\u00edvel nacional \u2014 e n\u00e3o dentro de um distrito fechado de seis cadeiras que n\u00e3o reflete sua diversidade nem seu real peso.<\/p>\n

D\u00e9claration de groupes libanais de la diaspora en r\u00e9ponse aux propos du d\u00e9put\u00e9 Ali Fayad sur le vote des expatri\u00e9s<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 surpris par les d\u00e9clarations du d\u00e9put\u00e9 Ali Fayad, qui a affirm\u00e9 que la demande pour que les expatri\u00e9s votent selon leur lieu d\u2019inscription ne refl\u00e8te pas la volont\u00e9 de la diaspora.
\nNous rappelons au d\u00e9put\u00e9 Fayad que cette revendication, obtenue lors des \u00e9lections de 2022 gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 un long combat men\u00e9 par la diaspora, fait aujourd\u2019hui l\u2019objet d\u2019une proposition de loi d\u00e9pos\u00e9e par un large groupe de d\u00e9put\u00e9s, soutenue par plus de 65 parlementaires de divers blocs et appartenances, ainsi que par une p\u00e9tition populaire sign\u00e9e par plus de 13 000 Libanais de l\u2019\u00e9tranger.<\/p>\n
