After winning the final of the “America’s Gate Talent” program, Nadim Cherfan, founder and choreographer of the band “Mayass”, denounced the Lebanese political class, calling for a “revolution” in Lebanon since his arrival in Beirut on Friday.
Dozens of relatives of the dancers welcomed the band with flowers at Beirut airport. Thousands of Lebanese were stuck in front of the television screens to follow the arrival of the band, a source of pride for them at a time when their country was devastated by an unprecedented economic and political crisis.
“We don’t need you (the politicians),” Cherfan told AFP at the airport. We, Mayan gang, were able to raise the name of Lebanon without you ”, expressing the dissatisfaction of the Lebanese people with the political situation in their country.
The band’s victory represented a rare moment of unity in Lebanon, which is experiencing its worst crisis since its founding.
In an indication of growing popular discontent with the situation in the country, Lebanese depositors stormed at least five banks in different locations on Friday in an attempt to recover some of their deposits, as part of a new episode of similar incidents.
Cherfan added that the citizens “should destroy all the banks and turn the country upside down and turn the situation on the head of all politicians”.
The prize pool for the “Mayas” group won one million dollars after winning first place in the finals of “America’s Got Talent”, as well as the opportunity to perform in Las Vegas.
“Your duty is to feed the hungry people and provide electricity,” Cherfan continued, addressing the political class.
