i shooting them off and just ah is political change coming to lebanon independent add reformers. candidates make gains in parliamentary elections while some traditional parties lose ground. with will the newcomers have the answers to pull the country out of a deep economic crisis. this is inside stored. ah.

hello, welcome to the program. i'm kim vanelle. lebanon has been called a failing state. it's currency is nearly worthless. food medicine and few are expensive and in short supply, people are unable to rely on basic public services like rubbish, collection, and electricity to keep the lights on. many blamed lebanon's politicians for years of corruption and mismanagement. a parliamentary election on sunday was there chance to vote for change. more than a dozen reformist and independent candidates who emerged from protests against the government in 20191 seats. the iranian backed heads, while on at its allies, lost their parliamentary majority, and some traditional parties performed poorly. the new m. p 's face made challenges ahead as an har reports from boot. many of the old faces are back, but

a meaningful number of new ones made it into lebanon's parliaments, which now has a new balance of power. the iranian back has been a party and its allies lost their majority, but no other political grouping or party can claim victory. the opposition may be sizable, but not united. what is a 1st, however, and post civil war politics are the so called reformists, who want at least 10 percent of the seats. these are candidates not affiliated to any of the mainly sectarian parties. we have to be as a king maker because we have not, we don't have to be in the polarization. we have to create a bridge. those new voices will stand in the middle of long time. enemy's tensions have already spilled onto the streets. supporters of rival parties fought on election day 3 local observers also documented attacks on their teams by supporters,

mostly from she. our groups has bhalla and among many servers, witness so many pressures, especially in the electoral districts of and the bol buckhead mull by some of parties, delegates, and agents, and even supporters. the she groups may have preserved the $27.00 seats allocated to their sect, but observer say they can no longer claim souls representation. or they did everything they cancel, intimidates, voters, candidates and representatives of the constituency. and at the same time, does also a, and i've done at the vote. so there's a vote which went outside the box and to their opponents. and that happened for the 1st time in spite of their attempts to keep it contained through the ballot box. there is no doubt change has begun, but the old divide has bala and its allies on one hand and the christian lebanese forces on the other hasn't gone away. lebanon's leaders will need to work together

to agree on a new government and elect a president in a few months. political deadlock is not unusual in this fractured country, but there is an urgent need to adopt performs and laws to rescue a collapse economy and a polarized parliament won't make that easy. the divide dates back to the civil war which ended in 1990 after which power was divided between sects. but lebanon's parliamentary democracy is in reality. a consensual democracy. unanimity is needed for the system to work and peace to be maintained than their ushers. eda, beirut, now as a dimensions power was divided between the 6 after the end of the war in 990. and that system aims to guarantee political representation for all of lebanon's 18 sects. parliament seats a split between christians and muslims and allocated to different denominations within each religion. the president must always be modernized, christian, the prime minister, funny muslim, and the speaker of the parliament,

a shameless ah. why they bring in all of our guests, all joining us from by roots. we have been a meal, a political activist and lawyer who was running for a parliamentary seat, jamal cotton, a political commentator and writer abraham co founder and ceo of their hours dot com. and independent digital media platform, a very warm welcome to the program to you all. i'd like to start with you that in a meal you ran for parliament, you didn't win a seat in these elections won't. you will take on the results. generally, as you look at them, how much of a shift is this really for lebanese politics? hello, and thank you for having me today. i think over and over or you, i think what happened in these elections was historic. for the 1st time were able to break the report of the willing class of the tradition of parties and

to bring the 17th of october, filing to the parliament. and now we see that the parliament is really from the keep it to the people. so i think it's, it's not negligible what, what has happened. all right, i'd like to cross over to you earlier for him. do you agree with the assessment? i mean the has led blocked last. it's parliamentary majority, but they still has the law and i'm all still retained the same number of seats. so what does that actually save? i think you would you heard from from the candidates who has lost those elections and consider them is static and indeed what has happened was for, for, for a piece protest, this will demonstrate those who in 2019 states was in editing. wait a big win for the news for that i didn't use a position if the,

if we may say the people who haven't been taking it for the last 2 years. and we've seen it across the country from the north for the past with 2 seats. and not being lost from the job to the of his below. and then we have the last of the vision spaces in a fix the presenting pretty much here again across the country for exactly with the, to the issue with and understand the i'm will have to this house with, as i've had it and to the north with the place that i don't use that net losses for it has a nice in terms of losing the majority to be less majority that could allow levy imposing on the inside. i mean, this has been lost even if you look at the mathematics in terms of the big loss of

the p n. if you that you know the movement at the level that being the legitimate and the biggest it present that of the christian voters. this has to change because in numbers and the presentation. so across the board so that we can easily say that this was best case scenario. who did i been a niece who i outside the political establishment and never know when it is indeed i would very much. it is a study at you mentioned the s p m for an international audience. that is the feel free patriot movement. party of president shall own which was the biggest christian blog is no longer. i'd like to pass over to you tomorrow goes in. what do you make of the results? is this actually indicative of a major shift? this is has been really losing support. absolutely not. this is

the, i mean, i don't agree that one pretty much expected that there was an expected the law that was going to come to the ruling majority, the previous ruling majority in favor of emerging forces. the thing is that we still don't know where the division lives, right? not one who actually may have a majority. i think we do have a 10 tourist block between the former leading majority and the former parts of government that were in the unit. the government that decided to play the role of opposition. and right now we might see a different electrical altogether not to solid blocks, but there may be 2 blocks. and the swing block in the middle, that is composed of old veteran politicians,

the like the poor, the speaker of the house, and what it blocked the leader of the progressive socialist movement was known to play swing roles in the history of lebanon. and now they can actually have a bigger se, because they can play in the middle and sleep one way or the other, depending on the issue. and i think this is what we're looking at right now. more than the complete shift in the political power. those just a complete, it's just a shift in the makeup of, of collisions that will be in parliament. ok. i do that in, and i mean, obviously as we've been saying, one of the biggest things to come from these elections, the election of new independence. so the so called reformists looking to shake things off. can they really make big changes given the rigidity of the entire system?

i think since there is more than 10 m p 's now no, they're able to present an appeal in front of the confirm of the consider constitution. however, i think our skins about them is that are now in parliament, is that they are from grassroots, or from the movements from the streets, from the heart of the 17 of october, appraising. this means that there will still be pressure on the streets. and this means there will be if the copper, some sort of cooperation with them, this means that we will still support them and try to help. this means that we will still put more pressures more pressure, whether on the speeds, whether in the syndicates, whether in the universities or so i think care it serve as if we see it from

a holistic approach. i think there's a lot to be done. aaliyah abraham can independence, actually work together as a block? how much unity is there. i this is a very important point i think would be about to see. and this is of course, a taking into consideration. that's why it is used by the government, by law, which we have seen in p as in previous episodes, it's left to dive inside the dynamics. i going to change the what we have seen over the last more than 15 years was that is ation within parliament. and just looking to put it nice, there was no way that they could never know there was no. what we didn't know was mentioning this idea because in the notes that i very important that i didn't speak, this was important that i didn't use the evidence that the news, this and right now with this connection have shown us, is that when you can see about the diet about the economy,

about having it about having just about having an income today, you're talking about the going to it, 80 percent of the population is unable that you know, this is what people get. and what the, i see we are seeing people who are coming in now you look at the look of 17 people, the fact that they, they are not important how to present the different agents in every one of the different text is not important. what's important is that the key from october 19th and from october 17 and that they would not even and now to walk inside that problem. and that is and then that will find them in today who was, who had to put it in his high next to his wife trying to get through the next the next parliament. and now he is, and i just leave that insight on it should expect. and i have a change of dynamics within a webinar again and think that it's less to be put in that term. all those people that are some would be extremely sophisticated balance in environmental issues and

he cannot make it. and i'm pretty sure that input will not be a how important it is that the, or i didn't even think it's very important that these and they presented as a mattress. okay. i just want to diverge on i, i hear you, i want to, i want to, i want to push into something that you raise as you said, 80 percent of the population according to the un lives in some form of poverty. if you're looking at, i think it's 20 different indicators, things like access to sanitation, health, school attendance as well as things like income. i mean that's, that's phenomenal. if the population is obviously struggling so much. why were they not more people voting for reformists? why were they not more people voting for independence? because this was a section in action as well. the boy putting in some videos list benefit establishment, not going to give you

a group of confidence. what you have is the keys in the old, on a out, but it wasn't in use and some people that the vote that before and who voted for this for this put change a lot of people, nor have that ability to go in. so if it is and they would want to for the amount that was more in it and in other places, was just a vote of no confidence. and then i don't actually voted, this is a vote of no confidence in the political establishment. and then you will colors, i already said they are going to be tested. a lot of people didn't know that. and i just didn't, they didn't even have access to the media. the i meant that, you know, so this is, this is in the understand the test that was so much that was done to do what you did speak to today. people in the letter states is not to and that when they, i don't to be going to vote against the, against the defense, the establishment,

the rest of the country. and i'm going to say was the quote from that. he's not to to wait for the election which, which again, a got like, never, not like deputy. so it was, you know, that's going to be good to know that. but again, we have to take into consideration that this was edited by have to know that made a difference and the level of the, of the find that i was. and they asked what most people did change. okay, tomorrow i'll send that over to you. what message if any, do you think that the voting in of this number of reformers candidates? what, what message do you think that sends to the political establishment? again, we must be looking at different numbers because if you look at the numbers in light of what was happening in lebanon and we see that there is the strong affirming vote for some of the powers like mala,

got more votes and last time for the f b, m, they were predicted that they would be the demise of them. they lost a couple of voting that turned out what we saw, like the new block that came in basically came and inherited the block that basically withdrew him was caught to the election and were talking about the future movement. led by former prime minister start read it and these people who we call or some people are calling reformist, is also assuming that they claim to be reform as we were talking about poverty and about economic issues. we have yet to hear any different economic proposals that might come from some of these people actually of the can you candidates in parliament, they're actually carry the voice of the i, m f and the bankers, and they're pushing for the privatization of state assets in order to recover the

loss of the ponzi scheme that the banks have. so this is the, this is the very dangerous thing that the lebanese people might be, must be aware of because you have the illusion of new faces. but it's going to be the same economy policies that lead to this economic love. they're basically high re neil how rigorous and i'm not talking about everybody here. of course i'm talking about, you mentioned that there are other that people doing good session and the media one of the candidates at one and one big mark though, was the host of a prime time t v show to create an alternative. i don't know what more attention in the media can a platform get, and these, a lot of the, that run in his circle are pro, i am the policy, is there, pearl, privatization, and they are not any different economic leave with their policies, then what god, lebanon to this disaster that there and it doesn't sound like you have any hope of

any change. mr. coffin, i mean, whoever is the new prime minister, we'll have to work with the international monetary fund to try and get lebanon out of mac crisis. so do you, do you have any hope for the future if, if what has gotten the country to this point, it sounds that you don't expect anything to change? well, this is the whole, i mean, the raising the hopes it is dangerous, because the problem in lebanon is not technical. it's not a matter of a minor legislation here, or a law here, or policy here. it's actually structural this country has been in trouble or, and on week ground systems as it's inception a 100 years ago. we've always had. 3 collapses wars and it's always seems to spiral down into this area because there is a structured structural issue. you cannot have this country built on this confessional system. even if you look at the elections there right now,

you see that there is under representation of people from certain areas in certain religions compared to others. and this has to do with their social class with their whether they're all money or old establishment or not. so the division is elsewhere, it's not about this a structure, this cannot be resolved by it. i just need to locate lebanon needs a new constitution and use a new, a social contract in order for it to solve its problems. i can see a if you want to jump in, what did you want to add there? yes, in mind. that is there, you could change the newcomers. i need a time to test them. i would need that they need to get the time to be tested today . we are needing what have they done? the doctor has, has just even had let even walk inside argument and keep it as the teacher that is going. and so, we need to give them time, but to say that the event,

the bank is again, let's look at the best. let's look at the candidates that were running on the list of establishment in south lebanon, and mr. my one headed the why is it presented that he's the owner who has played a role in transferring money that i've never known? when did the zinc did, when he was running on the list of has one law and not get would a bank? if we had been back and he lost to somebody who does not come from the family, who does not guns a i n s 2 kids who are on different b. what we are looking at that is, or this conversation that needs to be had about how to say they can make situation and they've been r and b. i personally and absolutely not for setting government government assets. even then doing anything with them unless we have a functioning it because like this is a government, this is

a system that has already taken us into bankruptcy. it cannot, it said it figured out the economic solutions knew it was whatever it is. but to say that the newcomers are the ones. a few thing with the ins is, is simply the next correct. all the data show is exactly the opposite of where we are coming almost to the end of the program. we've got a few minutes left. and if we look at the road ahead, the current parliament expires the 22nd of may. then there has to be a new speaker elected. then the president calls for binding consultations to choose the prime minister, who will form a government. how do you foresee this process? how do you think it's going to go? i think that the challenge here is, i think for the 1st time the ruling class decision for the parties don't have as we, as i was saying before, the monopoly over presentation. i think they are afraid because something has changed from the mint and change. i agree with mr. was saying that i think

we need fundamentals, the magic change, but i think sometimes this kind of change can be met through the digital ations. and i think if we continue to present some laws, if we continue to be from the inside from the outside to put the pressure on the streets with pressure everywhere, i think yes, we can. we can meet the change that we want for the next 2 months. i think it's important the next, i think what's, what's most important is the most economical crisis and the way out. and i think what's most important is not to send the the, the states, the states resources. so i think that's the most where the think in the coming a phase. thank you very much for your time, but in the thank you all,

i guess tomorrow goes in and i'll get it for him and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website. i'll just or dot com until the discussion go to our facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash ha inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter. handle is at a jayden side story for me can vanelle and the whole team here in bo house. the bye for now. the ah ah,
