Powerless Inept Authority
The article argues that Lebanon’s political leadership is incapable of governing the state and achieving stability, owing to the absence of proper democratic transfers of power, the state’s failure to monopolize the use of force, weak accountability and judicial independence, mismanagement, financial collapse, and the theft of depositors’ funds. It notes that security, economic, and social crises—including the Beirut port investigation, the electricity crisis, and the financing of armed groups—deepen this incapacity. The article calls for a one-year transitional system overseen by trusted figures, which would implement the National Defense Law, bring weapons under state control, and pass an electoral law in preparation for fair parliamentary elections held on schedule, as required by the Constitution.
