I Watch estimated that after the adoption of the exceptional measures by President Kais Saied, Tunisia is confronting a new political reality and is moving from the stage of” formal “democracy to a” fuzzy “stage.
In a statement released today, September 23, 2021, the organization held the frozen parliament responsible for the current political situation, due to its disinclination to implement the provisions of the constitution. It further considered that the Parliament did not activate Chapter VI and could not elect the members of the Constitutional Court for 7 years, nor made the required modifications to the inherited legal arsenal, which is no longer in harmony with the requirements of the Constitution.
The organization added that the House of the Representatives of the People had been the first to violate the provisions of the Constitution, astonished by the defence of a “legitimacy” which granted to the deputies immunity and privileges and plunged them into the conflicts, the corruption and violence. Reflecting, further, that a democracy that sets equality in injustice among citizens is a bogus democracy that enshrines rights only on paper.
