Protesters Demand Kais Saied's Exit

Thousands of Tunisians organized a protest on Habib Bourguiba Street in Tunis, condemning the deteriorating economic and living conditions and the mismanagement of the state, on the fifth anniversary of the exceptional measures taken by President Kais Saied on July 25, 2021. These measures included freezing the parliament and issuing a new constitution that expanded his powers, amid calls for his removal. The opposition insists that these actions have concentrated power in the president’s hands and diminished democratic guarantees, while Saied justifies them as necessary to save the country from collapse and to fight corruption. Meanwhile, the economy suffers from rising inflation, water and electricity cuts, and wages that fail to meet basic needs. Politicians and activists from various backgrounds participated in the protest, demanding the release of political prisoners and reaffirming their insistence on Saied’s departure, whatever the cost.
