The French magazine "Le Point" (Le Point) said that Kais Saied, the president and the new strongman in Tunisia, uses a very fierce lexical field towards his opponents, whom he describes as insects, traitors and thieves, and wondered, after referring to the silence of the opponents and the difficulty of communication, whether the president's missiles hit their targets ?
And the newspaper continued - in an article by Benoit Delmas - what the former lawyer, Riad Al-Karfali, said, "that he is destroying the entire boat on the pretext that there are damages in the warehouses."
In his tweet, this civil activist explained this, indicating that the conscience means Qais Saeed, and the compound means the democratic institutions that emerged from the 2011 revolution, including parliament, constitution, and independent bodies. Under the outdated presidency of Islamist leader Rashid Ghannouchi, Kais Saied put an end to it by activating Article 80 of the 2014 constitution, citing “imminent dangers.”
blurry period
The duration of the process, according to him, was "30 days", but after 90 days the parliament ceased to exist, and it changed three-quarters of the constitution by presidential decree, and no institution, not even the judiciary, can challenge a decree signed by Saeed.
For this reason, political scientist Salim Kharrat believes that "the country is going through the most foggy and dangerous period since the revolution," and he believes that "no one can oppose Qais Saeed's decisions anymore," adding that Saeed "feeds the polarization of society through verbal missiles such as "insects." And "agents" and "traitors" direct it to everyone who rises up against him, and he does not leave a haven for his political opponents, which fuels extremism.
The writer said that Qais Saeed, who speaks mostly in the evening from the Carthage Palace with a speech closer to the monologue in front of the main media, has not received any journalist since last July 25, not even since his election in October 2019, and he always repeats the saying "If you don't Tunisia does not have ICBMs, it has sovereign missiles."
Attack in every direction
In recent days, Said - according to the author - suspended rating agencies after Moody's downgraded Tunisia's rating for economic reasons that were exacerbated by the "unstable position of the new executive authority," according to one of the sources. In Congress at a hearing of five personalities on the "State of Democracy in Tunisia".
The Tunisian president asked his minister of justice to open an investigation "against those who conspire against Tunisia from abroad" and appointed him to Moncef Marzouki, the first president of democratic Tunisia (2011-2014), who strongly criticizes him, directing him to the strange paradox - as Delmas says - the same accusations that were directed against him In 1992, when former dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali accused him of "helping the foreigner", the Tunisian judiciary opened an investigation last Friday morning against him for "endangering state security", and his diplomatic passport should be withdrawn.
The writer wondered whether the European Union ambassador, Marcos Cornaro, would be summoned as a summons to his American counterpart after the European Parliament put Tunisia on its agenda, and approved a clause requiring the work of democratic institutions to pay 300 million euros, especially since the European Union’s foreign and security policy official Josep Borrell conveyed to Tunisia the Europeans’ concerns. And "the importance of setting a very specific timetable for returning to the constitutional system based on the separation of powers, respect for the rule of law and parliamentary democracy."
