We discuss his recent resignation letter and his four-months long experience serving as a finance advisor to the Ministry of Finance in its ongoing negotiations with the IMF. We also discuss the desperate need for accountability, transparency and responsibility, and why the public is not provided a full and honest picture of the severity of the crisis.
Henri also shares his belief in the need for a civil state, and why the current political class is unable to deliver proper reform.
Henri Chaoul is a board member of Kulluna-Irada.
