In Tunisia, the government changes the electoral law to two months of the filing of candidatures for the presidential election. Amendments approved by the Assembly change the game by excluding the favorites polls.
By drastically changing the rules of the electoral game a few months before the presidential and parliamentary elections, Tunisian MPs took the risk of jeopardizing the democratic process. Excluding several candidates, the amendments to the electoral law are unequivocal.
For example, according to article 42, " any person who, during the year preceding the poll, granted any benefits in cash or in kind for the benefit of the citizens ".
Thus the mania of the media Nabil Karoui, favorite of the polls, is marked exclusion. He who, last month again, distributed hundreds of meals of rupture of the young, under the watchful eye of the cameras of Nessma tv, the television he founded.
For her part, Olfa Terras Rambourg and her foundation Aïch Tounsi, married to a recognized patron, seem to have been removed from the race for the presidency. The ISIE, the Independent Higher Instance for Elections, is now in charge of deciding, combining subjective and objective. Especially on the term used as the exclusion of the candidatures of the people having " a speech which does not respect the democratic regime and the Constitution ".
