We discuss the difficult work necessary to tackle towards waste management, de facto decentralization emerging from the ongoing political and economic crisis, and political agency afforded through upcoming parliamentary elections.
Our conversation includes individual initiatives at the local Municipal level, how those efforts can translate on a national scale, comparing May 15 to earlier elections and looking at third alternatives for answers.
Ziad Abi Chaker is MP Candidate for Beirut 1 District.
