Tunisia after five years of revolution
Five years after the decisions of July 25, 2021, announced by Tunisian President Kais Saied, Tunisia appears different politically and institutionally than it was before that date. These decisions led the country from a parliamentary system to a presidential system granting broad powers to the presidency, with the suspension of Parliament and the dismissal of the government, amid a severe political, economic, and social crisis, including the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and worsening electricity shortages. While supporters of Saied believe that these changes have restored the effectiveness of the state, his opponents argue that they increased the concentration of power in the president’s hands and have perpetuated crises, with political parties weakening and a weak parliament. Division and social tension continue, and the outcomes of these years are being reassessed amid calls for national dialogue to rebuild trust.
