The fact that Lebanon has been without a president for more than two years, and by the way that
00:04
isn't the longest that Lebanon has been without a president for in recent times, there was
00:09
the period May 2014 to October 2016. Doesn't this show that this system where we have a
00:16
Maronite Christian who has to be the president, the Prime Minister has to be a Sunni, the
00:21
Speaker of Parliament must be a Shia, doesn't this perhaps suggest that the system does
00:27
need something of an overhaul and is it likely to get one?
00:30
Before an overhaul, the system needs to be applied and respected. The biggest problem
00:36
that we've been facing is not the system, it's the no system or the absence of system.
00:42
Because the constitution that was evolved, let's say, or rewritten in 1989, a Ta'if constitution
00:50
was never applied after the end of the civil war. And this is the main issue that we're
00:55
facing.
