Elections 2022: Meanwhile in Beirut's 2nd district...



OK, so now that Saad Hariri decided not to run for elections, everyone is running for a piece of the cake. Supported by Fouad Siniora and other Sunni notables, the "Beirut Touwajeh" (Beirut confronts or Beirut stands up) is shooting on a very anti-Hizbullah angle. "Your ballot on May 15th brings down May 7th" - for reminder, May 7th (see here) ended with Hizbullah basically taking over the western part of Beirut. Hassan Nasrallha, Hizhullah's leader would later say that May 7th "was a glorious day among resistance day" (Hizbullah always describes itself as resistance). So I suppose it is obvious where these people stand on the political spectrum. And the cherry on the cake is the hastag #your_ballot_is_a_duty .... 
Interestingly what they are advocating has not been unanimous... Proof? One of their panels was shredded...
