We discuss his illustrious career in civil society (from working and serving as secretary general of LADE to positions at both TRA and LCPS), as well serving as minister of interior in two successive governments.
We look back at the maneuvering space afforded to him, responsibilities while serving in power and resignation, lessons learned from the 2018 election campaign and the possibilities for running in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
We also talk about electoral reform and decentralization.
Ziyad Baroud is an attorney and former minister of interior.
