Tunisians expressed their disappointment and anger at President Kais Saied’s statements in which he mocks his demands for a road map for the post-coup against the constitution and Tunisia’s democracy.
Said said in a sarcastic speech to the Tunisian people: “Whoever talks about maps, let him go to the geography books to look at the seas and continents.”
But at the same time, he added, “The only way I take is The Road drawn by the Tunisian people,” which raised the activists’ questions about what this map was, and who drew it.
Researcher and political activist Abdel Hamid Al-Jelassi previously said that “the president does not listen to anyone and does not say what he wants, even if it is known, which is to turn the coup against the constitution into a full-fledged coup by controlling the whole state, and perhaps trying to reformulate it.”
Regarding the partisan and civil scene, researcher Al-Jalassi believes that “the scene may move a little after it is confirmed that the president’s project is a coup, which is a final disruption of the Council and the constitution and a blow to the entire party and organizational system.”
As for political analyst Abdel Latif Derbala, he said in a previous statement, that the president “is not interested in any dialogue, his words were a response, mainly to the American requests carried by a high-ranking American delegation, in which he called on the president to quickly return to “parliamentary democracy,” which means lifting the freeze on Parliament and stop the president now collecting all the powers in his hands.”
Bouderbala said: “Qais Saeed’s signs seemed to give their full back to all internal and external demands, and confirm his intention to continue implementing his undeclared program to run the country alone during a transitional period, whose duration no one knows.”
Academic Zuhair Ismail explained the president’s insistence not to back down as “confirming his lack of any program, the seriousness of the predicament that he has put the country in, and his waiting for the positions of those supporting the coup regionally and internationally, after confirming corresponding international pressures calling for him to retreat and gradually restore the democratic path.”
Ismail stressed that “the insistence on not retreating, filling the scene with populist movements for the president, restricting freedoms outside the law and the judiciary according to the president’s whims, and the emergence of a violent populist rhetoric that justifies killing and plunder, and the headlines of the militia (the Popular Mobilization) above the state and the law, threaten institutions and civil peace.”
Analyst Abdel Latif Derbala, through the president’s speech on the illusion of dialogue and the road map, suggested that “the president might prepare a vision for reforming the political system or reshaping it upside down, by presenting a new political project that he may prepare unilaterally, and he will try to impose on everyone, taking advantage of What he said previously is that it is “popular legitimacy” that, in his opinion, trumps legitimacy or “constitutional legitimacy.”
Derbala said, “It seems that Saeed, through his speech, is not concerned with any legal or constitutional alignment, and is only keen these days to feed this popular momentum with enthusiastic speeches, and fiery words through accusations of various political parties, using a populist method that plays on the emotions and emotions of the masses, to create A public opinion is ready to leap into the unknown with it.”
