Tunisia after the referendum on Said's constitution... What are the opposition's options? Do you respond to the offer of the Salvation Front?

The leader of the Democratic Current Party, Muhammad Al-Arabi Al-Jelassi criticized the referendum process on the new draft constitution and the results that resulted, and said that the Tunisian people had turned their back on this constitution and the path of the president, Saeed, completely, and that those who abstained from voting responded to the calls of the Tunisian opposition to boycott the referendum.

Speaking to an episode of "Beyond the News" program, Jelassi expressed his optimism about the possibility of Tunisia returning to practicing true democracy, with the fall of what he called dictatorship, stressing that the fate of the Said regime will be the same as the fate of the regime of former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.

Regarding the opposition National Salvation Front’s demand for early elections, the leader of the Democratic Current Party responded by saying that Tunisia needs such a proposal, but it is not possible at the present time, arguing that all active forces in the Tunisian arena must draw lessons from the previous stages.  

The head of the National Salvation Front, Ahmed Najib Chebbi, said - in a press conference in the Tunisian capital today, Tuesday - that the front is challenging the numbers presented by the electoral commission as contradicting what local and international observers have seen of the vacuum and a widespread boycott of the referendum.

Chebbi added that President Said failed to legitimize his abuse of power, and Chebbi called for early presidential and legislative elections to get Tunisia out of its crisis.

“An opposition that addresses the outside more than the inside.”

As for Jamal Mars, a leader in the Popular Current Party, he considered that the participation rate (equivalent to 27.5%) is reasonable and logical given the timing and circumstances of holding the referendum on the new constitution, a percentage that gives “legitimacy and legitimacy” to the new constitution, according to the guest, who cited the experiences of other countries such as France, which He said that it is a well-established democratic country, but the rate of participation in the legislative elections was around 33%.

The Tunisian guest said that 75% of the Tunisians who the opposition says boycotted the referendum and said "no to a happy constitution" include a group that is not interested in the elections at all, and another group whose circumstances did not allow them to go to the polling stations in order to vote on the new draft constitution, and therefore those who called for the boycott They are very few opponents, according to the same spokesman.

In response to what was put forward by the head of the Salvation Front, the leader of the Popular Current Party indicated that Chebbi tweets outside the flock and that if the front had had the ability, it would have stopped the path of President Said or affected him, criticizing in the same context a type of the Tunisian opposition, which he said addresses the outside more than the inside. .

On the other hand, he was optimistic about Tunisia's future during the next stage, and on the other hand, he called on President Said to expedite the development of a road map to reassure Tunisians.

The referendum - which took place under a boycott by opposition parties, including the Ennahda movement, which was the major force in the dissolved parliament - is supposed to result in the adoption of the new draft constitution, which establishes a presidential system instead of the semi-parliamentary system that has been in place since 2014, and grants the president wide powers in exchange for Marginalizing the powers of Parliament.
