'Even if, hypothetically, the government says we're going to implement all the reforms that you want, they're not going to trust them,' Kareem Chehayeb, a journalist and activist, told Newsweek.
that most demonstrators are calling for"a downsized technocratic government" featuring"new faces." He pointed out that there is"zero" trust in the current ruling class."Even if, hypothetically, the government says we're going to implement all the reforms that you want, they're not going to trust them," he said.
Despite the sustained movement, the government has done little to address protesters' demands. While Prime Minister Saad Al-Hariri, many of the ruling elite have suggested that he should stay on as caretaker prime minister to form a new cabinet.
Chehayeb agreed with that assessment."There's definitely a stalemate," he said, pointing out that many politicians, including President Michel Aoun, have become critical of the protests. Last Tuesday, Aoun said in a televised interview that Lebanese demonstrators should"emigrate," vowing"they won't get into power." The statement only emboldened the movement, with demonstrators marching toward the presidential palace.
