Lebanon Gives Too Much Importance To Its President

Ghassan Karam:

Lebanon has been effectively transformed from a Presidential system [..] into a parliamentary system but someone has forgotten to tell the Lebanese about that. The daily news media, both print and TV, insist on showing the comings and goings of the president and cover his every move and utterance when in fact he has no executive or legislative power of any capacity.

They have a name for that Ghassan. It’s called “Identity Politics”
