Муниципальные выборы в Ливане

Nabatieh, Lebanon, May 24 (EFE).- Several hundred thousand Lebanese are called to vote on Saturday in the municipal elections in the south of the country, the first since the war with Israel devastated much of the region. At noon the turnout is barely 25%, according to official data. These elections are considered a sort of referendum for the Shiite group Hezbollah.
