Last Night’s Talk Shows: Introduction of private sector minimum wage + Libya elex
The biggest talking point of the evening was the expected introduction of a private sector minimum wage and the thousands of companies who filed for exemptions. We have chapter and verse in this morning’s news well, above.
In second place: The uncertainty over Libya’s upcoming presidential election, which is scheduled to take place this Friday, 24 December despite the full list of nominees not being released as of yet. President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry sat down with the head of Libya’s Presidential Council Mohamed Al Menfi yesterday to discuss the elections and efforts to complete Libya’s democratic transition.
