The political crisis in Tunisia, an Islamic country in North Africa, is getting deeper day by day.
President Qais Said, who dismissed the prime minister, dissolved the parliament, and lifted the immunity of the deputies with the coup he carried out on July 25, 2021, adds new ones to his despotic sanctions every day.
Qais Said, who returned Tunisia to the dictatorship, continues to usurp the political will of the Tunisian people.
The fact that there was no significant reaction against Qais Said, neither from the Arab League, nor from the leaders of the Islamic world, nor from the hypocritical Western world, which constantly cries for democracy, condemned the Tunisian people, who had been groaning under the persecution of the dictators for many years, to loneliness.
POLITICS LOCKED IN TUNISIA ALL AUTHORITIES IN THE HAND OF QAIS
President Qais Said declared a 3-month state of emergency after the July 25 coup, promising that he would reopen the parliament within 3 months, appoint a new prime minister, and restore the functioning of political institutions.
Said declared that he arbitrarily extended the coup decisions indefinitely at the end of the 3-month state of emergency. Said, who expanded the legislative and executive powers of the President and abolished the interim commission that oversees the constitutionality of legislative proposals, continues to shape Tunisian politics as he wishes.
Applying heavy pressure to the deputies who want their constitutional rights back, Qais Said has imprisoned dozens of members of parliament unlawfully in the last 6 months.
Having usurped the will of the people to elect their own rulers, Said continues his brutal persecution against the anti-coup Tunisians.
Lastly, the demonstrator Reda Bouziyan, who was injured in the protest against President Said on the anniversary of the Jasmine Revolution on January 14, died in the hospital 5 days later.
QAIS SAID DISAPPOINTED TUNISIAN PEOPLE
Qais Said, who was elected president in 2019 with the majority of the people's votes, gained the trust of the Tunisian people, with the thought that the Jasmine Revolution, which was overthrown by the dictators, would protect its gains because he was a professor of constitution.
The political coup, in which Qais Said abolished the constitutional institutions, who had an administration intertwined with the people until the July 25 coup, disappointed the Tunisian people.
Qais Said, who made Tunisia open to the protection of foreign powers after the 25 July decisions, gave the army and police forces the authority to use unlimited violence against the opponents of the coup.
While thousands of Tunisians were imprisoned because of Said's tyrannical orders, many citizens lost their lives as a result of the attacks of the security forces during the demonstrations against the coup.
