In the last 13 years almost 14 theres too much its too much injustice too much corruption and too much authoritarianism thats leading his towards a dictatorship. It all started with moralist his latest reelection bid after 3 terms in power he needed to change the constitution to run again. He called a referendum to let the people decide now really they said no then he did it anyway.

For him even though he hasnt done enough its a protest vote. He doesnt have a Political Party he hasnt done a campaign if you show more kind of he wouldnt be 8 points down hed be neck and neck and maybe even beating it will morales a moralist does seem more vulnerable than ever before environmentalist say the recent violence which burnt down 5000000 hectares of forest helped along by his governments allowance of slash and burn.

Correspondent anahata has more from beirut. Day 3 of the protests people are still defiant despite a government crackdown Security Forces and the army on late friday used heavy handed tactics to disperse the crowd and forcibly open highways which were blocked by burning tires people here continue to demand the resignation of the government they chant told us our revolution revolution but its easier said than done because the response from the Ruling Alliance has been we are clinging on to power the hezbollah and the Hezbollah Movement which to me leads the Ruling Alliance the message from the secretary general was very clear you cannot topple the Ruling Alliance people here were very angry they consider this as a challenge as a veiled threat saying that if we decide to protest the balance of power will change so basically dismissing the 10s of thousands of people who have been out on the streets demanding for better Economic Conditions hezbollahs the solution is that the government officials will find another way apart from taxing the poor to raise much needed government revenues but people here want a change in the system but in the words of Hasan Nasrallah even if there is a new government it will be the same Political Forces that will make up this government that to a certain extent there is a reality to that because the political elites theyve been ruling this country for decades theres really no alternative the Civil Society has tried to make some sort of a comeback but they havent been able to do that so it seems officials are working behind the scenes to find some sort of a compromise people here will not be appeased by that definitely but then we could probably expect a Security Forces to even use even more heavy handed tactics in order to calm the street so really difficult times and its unclear what is going to follow but what is clear the balance of power is in the hands of the they really authority. Center for their friends. Story. Well lets take a look at some of the problems that been on has the worlds 3rd highest debt level and more than a 3rd of under 30 fives are unemployed the government is accused of failing to provide basic services with domestic waste piling up in the streets and generators needed to overcome electricity blackouts lebanese were further infuriated when the government needed foreign help to battle the west wildfires in decades because fighting helicopters were grounded long running political instability has shaken Investor Confidence and made it harder to revive the economy thats led to shortages of dollars and threatened pensions another drain on the economy is looking off to one and a half 1000000 syrian war refugees. Well lets have a listen to what some of the protesters in the streets have been saying. There is no future for jobs and this is not acceptable anymore we have stood up for a long time and now its time to talk and this is the goal of the these people did not take to the streets to cause riots and chaos but to express their pain and suffering caused by this political situation but none of. The regime must be toppled from the top of the pyramid its not useful if just one goes away were hungry and tired we have no Social Security we dont have anything i dont believe that this city did the because im 60 years old every day i go to beirut just so i can feed my family these politicians pass in front of me and no one looks at me we want to overthrow the government the regime and the parliament. Well lets introduce our panel of guests who are all in lebanons capital beirut so by skype we have my yahia who is the director of the carnegie middle east santa ana corey a political activist and also by skype sami nada and economist and also director of the 11th institute for Strategic Affairs welcome to you all well run out starting with you these problems have been going on for some time now whats been the Tipping Point what sports you all out onto the streets i think 1st hello and thank you for having me i think there is. A lot of bad performance a lot of belittling of the peoples minds throughout the years and i think the people who are ready to say we had enough they were ready because they clearly had enough more poverty less freedoms more oppression it was too much now a lot of people are linking it to the decision of or the discussion within the government of the whats up tax i think this is just another tax that the people said weve had enough of were not going to pay the price were not responsible of the bad management of this economy its been going on for years we gave this mandate 3 years as a chance its just collapse even more and thats it so it was i dont think that was the main reason i think the whole performance of the government and then there was a lot of. Bad decisions one after the other a lot of bad. Behavior with the people a lot of activists were put it throughout the year 2001960 activists and journalists were asked to come to secure to Security Forces into a geisha just because of a Facebook Status more taxes no employment very bad behavior towards the people i think all of this have or had to come out 20 well you mentioned bad Economic Management there and i was taking a look at the numbers and theyre pretty extraordinary lebanons public debt is now equal to more than 153 percent of g. D. P. The 3rd highest level in the wild so dollar reserves depleted the country is now staring down the barrel of a possible devaluation of the lira sammy how did we get here we did it to you because for the 8 year in a row started in 2011 theres. A very delicate situation and banjo situation that when deficit i mean on one side you have the budget deficit which shared each. Very. Worrying levels the budget of the Financial Statement you have more. Dollars all sora gonna see getting out of the accounts didnt. Invest that to the situation where where we are today and brought us. A good horse which is barry did not increase one percent so we are that big the until the 8th year in a row and they have a deep recession and this is 10 stated by how another. Unemployment this what takes the people to the street today but the absence of the 4 was the one major reason why this what should budget deficit kept a growing and widening deficit of balance of payment now its very important and this is one major industry. They want that change their easy and when they say they want to change. They need to change ill step out and upgrade an operating system which is 60 very young based what we called and that a big news on one hasa whereby the Political Forces in in the 6 get him to who they are because and think. Emptying that treasure what resources of country and. District and university and is the other thing of production well i do want to ask a little more about the economic crisis and then were going to move on to some of the other political issues because i i understand that harry has been doing the rounds and paris abu dhabi trying to often money to solve some of these problems and both western governments and gulf countries seem to be not terribly wanting to bail out again so is this a case of government saying to beirut enough is enough. Very much so i think its saying to the current ruling elite these are you get your act together particularly i think the position of european governments there was a you know. Mccann ism thats what established a couple of years ago too and around 11000000000 were pledged to lebanon through sad some of them were grand some of them were soft clones long term soft loans with favorable Interest Rates none of this funding has been released because its contingent on reform until now that the form has not been forthcoming so what the message that they wrote is getting is enough is enough you need to get your act together you need to undertake painful but necessary forms. In order to for the something to be released and in order for us to continue supporting the country now for the International Community to their core theyre sort of also caught between a rock and a hard place because they would obviously much rather not have another failed state on their hands in this region but at the same time theres been so much support coming to lebanon although the past few decades. And much of this continues to be mismanaged both economically and politically well theres no yes right and i think unless unless these reforms are undertaken were not going to see any funding coming this where there has been it really is conventional rather than these issues for some time now though but now were hearing the word unprecedented in relation to these protests so stay with you talk me through whats different this time around because i know weve seen kids coming out with with families in the streets weve had people calling out their own sectarian leaders by name so talk us through whats different that were seeing now. I think whats very different are a couple of things one is the spread and the location of these protests theyre happening across National Territory and not just in the main cities there where they were very spontaneous so its not a Political Party thats been calling for people to take this to the streets and perhaps most importantly is were seeing criticism of the Political Leadership coming from the community that theyre supposed to. Be in control are so were seeing protests against the will of those hezbollah and the amount of movement from within the shia community
