the confessional system has already been deployed in the Lebanese Constitution of 1926 all started by an attempt to maintain an impossible balance between the 18 sects in the country. For any to impose the rest created a system of quotas circus, where each confession was guaranteed a share of power based on their demographic weight of time, whatever the ability of its politicians. or the unsuitability of the same . Thus, the presidency is reserved for a Maronite Christian, the head of a Sunni Muslim government, the Parliament a Shiite, the army chief also a Christian ... a discriminatory system that the new generation Lebanese not accept
and is considered the main source of problems in the country: while there is no equality between the sects and the imposition of national sentiment rather than religious sentiment, Lebanon, say, never live in peace.

I can not ask for a job in a Sunni neighborhood or Christian because when they see my name [which he identifies as Shia] not hire me. And I can not ask in a Shiite neighborhood because they do not participate in any religious party, and that means not hire me, "he says shrugging his shoulders theatrically. "That's why we can not continue in this situation not a day longer. We need to return power to the people. Are resilient and reject the constitution because it is a way to get kidnapped by the Lebanese confessional system in the hands of political mafias . "

The little red attend the demonstration into the arms of his mother while his father holds a placard. "Nobody feels Lebanon: one is Saudi, other Americans or French. What legitimacy have some political leaders who do not work for the country but for their foreign sponsors? The confessional system is corrupt by definition. " His wife nods. "Because of this system, my husband is unemployed, do not let us legalize our civil marriage and therefore our child does not have Lebanese papers," she added.

"This system only benefits the political leaders, not the Lebanese. And we are not against political parties, but that leaders
leave office in heritage rather than letting it choose the candidate most valid. Until that happens, while forcing me to vote for sectarian quotas, my vote will be kidnapped. " There are more reasons to protest, and across the region. The high cost of living, minimum wage bordering on the ridiculous, the high cost of housing ... This is why many signs would reflect the these problems. But the primary objective, as in the rest of the Arab riots, is win freedoms.

Some Lebanese politicians, with extensive experience in manipulating the masses, have dared to try to capitalize on the movement antisectario. "Now two political figures show their support, a ironic considering that they are a symbol of sectarianism, "said Abdallah, referring to Nabih Berri and Michel Aoun , the Shiite and Maronite Christian leader, respectively, who sent their delegates to a meeting prior to the event where the activity designed strategies. "They booed until they left," says the activist. The motives of both are clear: Aoun is a close ally of the Shia, who according to the current demographics of the country, nothing to do with the 40 - are most Lebanese population.
