The High Council of State (HCS) decided on Sunday to reject the budget approved by the House of Representatives (HoR) for the parallel government that was designated by the HoR, for violating the provisions of the political agreement.
The HCS said in a statement that it had rejected the HoR’s decision because it did not meet the aspirations of the Libyan people, considering that Law No. 29 of 2013 regarding transitional justice was “the most appropriate law to fulfill the principles of reconciliation in Libya.”
The House of Representatives approved – unilaterally and without referring to the High Council of State, as stipulated in the political agreement – the draft state budget law for the year 2024 submitted by the parallel government, with a value of 90 billion dinars.
