Next month (May 15, 2022), legislative elections will take place in Lebanon, an election in a very particular context since the country is going through a devastating economic crisis.
It will also be the first time that we vote in Lebanon since the protest movement, launched in 2019, against a political class deemed corrupt and ineffective.
