BEIRUT, Jan. 10 (Xinhua) -- Lebanon's parliament majority alliance on Wednesday called on the Lebanese to hit back the Hezbollah-sponsored serial protests by "more productivity" in the various economic and services sectors, local Naharnet news website reported.

    The so-called March 14 Force alliance, which backs Prime Minister Fouad Seniora's government, said in a statement that the Hezbollah-led protests to topple the majority administration have reached "a dead end because the Lebanese have not responded to them."

    The protests by the Hezbollah-led opposition, which started as a sit-in in downtown Beirut on Dec. 1 and expanded to serial demonstrations at public offices as of Tuesday.

    In the statement, the parliament majority alliance denounced the opposition protests as "shuttling and boring daily folklore that does not provide solutions to the nation 's problems."

    The protests "impoverish the Lebanese people, block their prosperity and the possibility of their economic recovery on the verge of the Paris III conference which is the only chance available to deal with the root economic problems," said the statement.

    The Seniora government adopted last week a six-point socio-economic recovery and reform plan which would be the basis for discussion at the Paris III conference of donors scheduled on Jan.25.

    It hopes the conferees would provide it with badly-needed assistance to cope with the nation's 41-billion-dollar foreign debt and help compensate for the 6.3-billion-dollar losses sustained during Hezbollah's 34-day war with Israel last summer.

    Hezbollah, in a statement released earlier in the day, criticized the economic plan and said it needed further expanded discussion.
