Like a wind of crisis in the corridors of the Tunisian Parliament.
The deputy of the Current Democrat party (center-left) Samia Abbou has been leading a hunger strike since Sunday to protest against violence between deputies on December 7.
"It is as if there was a trivialization of violence," she laments, believing that those responsible are deputies of the Al Karama coalition (conservatives) and that their acts have gone unpunished.
Tunisia's main trade union center, the UGTT, demonstrated with politicians and members of civil society to denounce the violence.
Today, she calls for dialogue, as she had done in 2013 - which then earned her to be rewarded with other actors in Tunisian society by the Nobel Peace Prize.

"The UGTT is once again confronted with the need to launch a national dialogue to face this situation and to seek solutions to initiate the necessary reforms", explains at the microphone of France 24 its deputy secretary general, Samir Cheffai.
But in the semi-parliamentary regime that Tunisia chose ten years ago, this instability has repercussions on the management of the country, where thirteen governments have succeeded since 2011.
