Former Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki has announced his withdrawal from the presidency of the Harak party and from the Tunisian political scene, following the results of the recent elections, which he said he bears responsibility for.
Addressing Tunisians, Marzouki said that the transition is the goal of the Tunisian revolution and the Arab Spring, and that it is happening in Tunisia "more quickly than every Arab country."
He warned Tunisians against believing those calling for amending the constitution to adopt a presidential system to ensure the stability of the state.
He added that the role of tyranny in the destruction of countries and peoples confirms that the Tunisian constitution, which smartly distributed the authorities between institutions prevents any party from authoritarianism and protects the interests of the people, pointing out that without this constitution, the revolution would end with the rise of what he called the “old order” of power in the 2014 elections.
Marzouki said that there is a need to review the electoral law as well as other laws in order to summarize the media sector and political parties from the impact of corrupt money, stressing that the failure to take this step will make "our democracy market and a trade in which everything, especially the national interest, which may pave the wave of populist Before the revolution. "
Marzouki warned of Tunisia's fragile economic situation, saying that the biggest reason for the spread of poverty, unemployment and despair is the spread of corruption, stressing that the country needs laws and policies that "strongly hit a handful of parasitic monopoly families and their corrupt money, a milestone from which the media feeds shame and some political gangs."
He stressed that the "people of citizens" is obliged to "declare war on corruption, and enlist to eradicate this cancer."
Marzouki drew attention to the danger that threatens Tunisia and the Arab region, represented by climate change and its catastrophic repercussions on the region, calling on the people to pay attention to this imminent danger and not drown in daily problems.
Al-Marzouqi explained that the nation's youth have two main tasks. The first is to continue the state's erosion of corrupt elites and make them serve the citizens.
Marzouki spoke of the importance of the Maghreb Union, and called on the Tunisian parliament to enact the five freedoms law for Maghreb citizens, namely, mobility, stability, work, ownership and municipal elections regardless of the reaction of other Maghreb countries.
He will remain committed to "all the issues of my people and my nation, which I will continue to serve as I can in ways and in other areas."
