Laleh Khalili Yesterday at 4:30pm · Maya conveys well the mood of politics here in Beirut: The amazing thing about the present situation is that despite the absence of a legitimate government, the state and its institutions continue to function. This is different than saying that politics continues to function, which also does. For example, important labor union strikes are taking place. In fact two of the most interesting current political developments are the ongoing debates and political actions around inflation, wages, and economic polarization, and a reinvigorated campaign around violence against women and gender discrimination.
