Protests were expanded on Thursday and saw the participation of employees from other public administrations and institutions. The matter is to be discussed during the government session on Friday, as an item outside the agenda. Retired soldiers in Tripoli protested in front of the central bank’s branch in the city and blocked access to the administrative complex. Their demands include calculating a unified percentage of the actual value of the pre-2019 salaries for all of the public sector and canceling all of the increases, bonuses and funds that have been given to certain categories of public sector employees. The supply of food is also in question after employees at the Ministry of Agriculture went on strike, along with consumer protection inspectors.
