Click to watch: https://youtu.be/lEC-skcbHGs We discuss upcoming parliamentary elections, what makes this round different than previous years, and the core obstacles preventing reform. Our conversation includes policy on how to deal with Iran's security interests in Lebanon, an increased disinterest among youth voters in reelecting pre-October 17 figures, and Kataeb's narrative challenge today as supportive of October 17's demands and one of the oldest political groups in Lebanon. We also talk about expectations placed on Nadim as the son of Bachir Gemayel, and how Nadim sees Baabda - and the country's - future. Nadim Gemayel is MP Candidate for Beirut 1 District, and a member of Kataeb.
