In the wake of the 2019–2021 Lebanese protests Ziade called for political reform beginning with early parliamentary elections that introduce young members of parliament, and the formation of a technocratic cabinet.[19] Although he declared his support for the revolutionary movement, Ziade said that he does not ascribe to the protestors' motto "Ash-shab yurid isqat an-nizam" [the people want to take down the regime]. He justified his position by saying that Lebanon is a faulty parliamentary democracy in need of reform.[19][13] Ziade strongly advocates a civil state and the separation of powers.[19]
