11 MPs are expected to file an appeal on Wednesday with the Constitutional Council against the decree promulgating the 2025 budget proposal by the government, at the beginning of March. In their statement published by the state-run National News Agency (NNA), these MPs specified that the appeal was based on "numerous constitutional breaches in both the promulgation mechanism and the content, given the many and considerable new taxes contained in this budget proposal."

Although mostly from protest blocs, the parliamentarians belong to different political parties: Paula Yacoubian, Melhem Khalaf, Najat Aoun Saliba, Firas Hamdan, Adib Abdel Massih, Bilal Hoschaimi, Melhem Tok, Adnan Traboulsi, Taha Naji, Ibrahim Mneimneh and Tony Frangieh.

The budget proposal was prepared by the previous government led by Najib Mikati and was heavily criticized upon its publication due to its excessive reliance on taxes to address the economic and financial crisis the country has been experiencing since 2019, as well as its lack of reforms. The current government, led by Nawaf Salam, promulgated the decree for this proposal at the beginning of March, citing a lack of time to prepare another. However, during a session on March 13, it approved a bill allowing it to review certain taxes, fees, and other charges included in the 2025 budget proposal. This text notably cancels taxes on alcoholic beverages, which were said to have "economic and social repercussions," a request made by the Association of Lebanese Industrialists.
