There was a large outcome oof people at this rally, and its because some of their demands are legitamate. Im not trying to say hezbollah should take control, on the contrary i hate them and they will destroy lebanon. But the current western-backed government(apart from the Lebanese Forces christian party) were all syrian collaborators. They are all corrupt, they have lifestyles fit for billionaires. When you see how much debt lebanon is in, it is because of those people, they stole money from the government for 15 years and that is why they are resisting an audit which is called for by the pro-syrians. They are both bad, but the lesser of the two evils is definately the western-backed government and not this opposition.
