Kataeb Political Bureau Member Alain Hakim stressed that the October revolution marked the awakening of Lebanese awareness regarding their neglected rights and the systemic corruption plaguing the country.

“However, the revolution’s failure was the result of the relentless deterrence of the system's leaders and its security apparatus coupled with fake news and brutal attacks on the protesters,” Hakim noted.

“Not to mention the burden of the fabricated economic crisis to suppress the anger of the citizens and distract them by securing their daily needs. The only way for the system remains in wasting time and dissolving the crises until they are forgotten,” he concluded.
