The movement specifically criticized the decision to raise the price of heavy oil, warning that this increase will affect local industries, particularly cement, iron, plastic, and food factories.

The movement also targeted the education and health sectors, criticizing the authorities for not responding to teachers' demands and relying on foreign teachers instead of addressing the situation of Libyan workers. The movement called for the protection of Libyan medical cadres and improvement of working conditions in the public and private sectors.
The movement emphasized its rejection of foreign interference in Libya's decision-making process, criticizing the role of the UN mission and countries interfering in Libyan affairs.
