Who is Pressuring the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Lebanon to Resign?

Lebanese citizens are awaiting what tomorrow's press conference, called by the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, Wassim Mansouri, will bring. This is happening concurrently with Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh closing the door to his office on the ninth floor of the bank's building, marking the end of three decades of overseeing the state's finances.
