Ice broken. What next?

Gen Z representatives and old political forces should keep talking in order to remove mutual doubts.

A long-awaited breakthrough emerged this week in Baluwatar. The first-ever tripartite meeting between the interim government, political parties and Gen Z representatives broke the ice between the established parties and Gen Z representatives. For over a month, mistrust and misunderstanding had driven a wedge between the old parties and the youngsters who took to the streets on September 8 and 9. Wednesday’s dialogue has narrowed that gap.
