Mohamed Ali Latifi-Tunisia

The winds of the presidential elections in Tunisia did not meet the expectations of the Tunisian left - whose leaders turned into political opponents months before the elections - after appending the results with a total of not more than 3% of the vote.

Observers believe that these results were the last nail in the coffin of the Tunisian left, which failed to convince the public that it is the best political alternative for Tunisians, as its leaders claim in their speeches and campaigning.

Observers believe that leftist leaders preferred to scramble and struggle for the leadership of the Popular Front (a coalition that brought together most of the left and nationalist parties), rather than thinking about taking the chair and investing the negatives of nine successive governments after the revolution.

Political experts consider the "unexpected" victory of Qais Sa'eed and Nabil al-Qarawi to be a fatal blow to the opposition led by left-wing parties and coalitions, with none of its three candidates passing the 1% threshold.

Labor Party spokesman Hama Hammami failed for the second time to reach the Carthage palace and to exploit the opportunity of what was described as the political failure of the ruling parties in governance during the past years, to append the results of the elections by 0.7%, after it was in third place in 2014 elections after Beji Kaid Essebsi And Mohamed Moncef Marzouki.

The two left-wing candidates were disappointed with Mongi Rahouhi getting 0.8% and former UGT leader Obeid Braiki 0.2%.

Political analyst Mohamed Bouaoud describes what happened to the left as a complete failure, after his candidates received "zeros and breaks", saying that this was a natural result of the state of fragmentation, differences, leadership and narcissism.

He pointed out in his talk to Al Jazeera Net that the low voting rate is the true size of the left within the Arab and Islamic societies.

A wide slit of the leftists scoffed at the assessment of their candidates' results, describing their chances in the race as a comic race between the tortoise and the rabbit, only to entertain opponents within the game.

Caviar leaders
One of the critics described them as "caviar leaders who adored tennis courts and luxury cars," arguing that they had turned media salons into a fencing and fighting arena in search of fame and positions. The "opposition machine" was threatened with drowning.

The former leftist leader of the Labor Party, Abdul Jabbar al-Madwari, said that the election results were expected, especially in light of the left's adherence to the forms of struggle and classics that no longer respond to the requirements of the current reality, as most of the left organizations are bureaucratic organizations at the organizational level, closed themselves intellectually and politically , And isolated from the masses, as described.

He adds to Al Jazeera Net that the Popular Front project reached a dead end as a result of systematic bureaucratic sabotage due to opportunistic and leadership ambitions that characterized the behavior of its leaders, in the light of his refusal to reinstate the leaders and not to deliberate on leadership responsibilities.

The Popular Front witnessed the resignation of nine deputies out of 15 deputies in May 2019 from the office of the People's Congress, which caused it to be dismantled due to differing views on the way it administered its affairs, thus losing the bloc months before the presidential, which caused a wave Angry with her supporters.

The Labor Party's fifth congress in December 2018 unveiled internal disagreements in a statement issued by 146 regional and national leaders, which included a boycott decision because of what was considered a 'bureaucracy in governance and the absence of democratic methods in managing difference', and was the drop that resulted in the cup of differences.

A mysterious future
According to observers, the Tunisian left has again failed, despite the indirect support it receives from the powerful Shughila organization, to reach advanced roles in government.

Observers believe that the left did not grasp the lessons of the past and remained in the eyes of Tunisians hostile to their civilizational and religious heritage, and is expected to reconsider the left speech and leadership and entity, which was dispersed and returned to scratch after the state of fragmentation, division and conflict.

Political analyst Salaheddine Jourchi says that the Tunisian left has experienced the man's experience in the Greek myth that speaks of the man who tries to climb the mountain and every time he slides down to the foot of the mountain, then returns the ball again.

Al-Jorshi points out that Al-Jazeera Net has left the political game while waiting to get other variables to bring it back to the scene again, saying that the left will not have any role in the upcoming legislative elections.

On the other hand, the leftist leader Moomin believes that the left will not end as long as there are workers and oppressed, but he is now required to fix his mistakes in the future, indicating that the problem lies in the administrators who must be replaced.
