Lebanon on the brink of the abyss

Lebanon has been without a president for almost two years, an institutional position that in the Lebanese system is reserved to Christians and represents a symbol of coexistence and respect for plurality. Even the government has resigned, the ministries are only dealing with current affairs at a time when instead the country, more than ever, needs decisions to be made about its future, its identity and stability.
