First, fossil fuel subsidies in the MENA region are one of the compensation measures implemented by authoritarian leaders in Arab countries instead of restricting the political participation of civilians. Second, the demand for social safety nets in the MENA region is increasing rather than decreasing energy subsidies, and there may be resistance to any reduction in subsidies by the government without any alternative measures.
