We discuss Rawad's political activism, how the readings of Samir Kassir impacted his views and whether the current aspirations of Minteshreen match those from the buildup to the March 14 movement.
Our conversation includes expectations from local elections, working with broader alliances for next year's parliamentary elections and the wider debate surrounding Hezbollah's security apparatus and varied opposition views on the Lebanese Forces.
Rawad Taha is a member of Minteshreen.
