Watchdog criticizes Tunisian president
A report by the organization "I Watch" shows that the performance of Tunisian President Kais Saied since taking office in 2019 has been negative. He failed to fulfill 81% of his 91 promises, with only 19% successfully accomplished. During his tenure, there has been a decline in the trajectory of democracy, including restrictions on candidacies for the 2024 presidential elections, the arrest of candidates, failure to reform the judiciary, weaken its independence, and efforts to combat inflation, monopolies, and pollution. On the other hand, there have been relative improvements in some promises, such as raising the minimum wage, supporting farmers, and updating public transportation services. It is noteworthy that Saied, in 2021, implemented exceptional measures that abolished the parliament and the constitution, adopting a centralized system with most governing powers concentrated in the hands of the president, which his opponents view as a undermining of democracy.
