More about Tunisia
The presidency of Bourguiba
As part of a presidential system of government, on July 25, 1957, Bourguiba took over the post of head of government as well as that of president of the republic (re-elected in 1964 and 1969, 1975 for life). Since 1957 the “Neo-Destur-Movement” developed more and more into the single determining state party, which became a socialism known on an Islamic basis. Reorganized as PSD in 1964, it decided in 1964 to socialize all economic sectors. However, the implementation of a collective farm system had to be stopped in 1969 as a result of the resistance of the rural population to this policy. In the 1970s, dissatisfaction with the one-party rule of the PSD gained ground and, in connection with social tensions, led to a general strike and bloody clashes in 1978. With the approval of the PCT (1981) as well as the MDS and the PUP, Tunisia moved away from the one-party system. In the parliamentary elections of 1986, however, most of the opposition parties did not take part; the ruling PSD won all seats.
Developments since 2015
In a terrorist attack on the National Museum in Bardo on March 18, 2015, twenty foreign tourists, three Tunisians and two terrorists were killed. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack. Another terrorist attack on a stretch of beach and a hotel complex north of Sousse fell victim to 38 foreign tourists on June 26, 2015. Thereupon President Essebsi imposedon July 4th, 2015 the state of emergency. At least 13 people lost their lives in an attack on a bus occupied by members of the presidential guard on November 24, 2015 in Tunis, and the president again declared a state of emergency. Dissatisfaction with the poor economic situation and high unemployment erupted in mass protests accompanied by acts of violence in January 2016. The risk potential from Islamic extremism remained high. An attack by Islamist fighters on the city of Ben Guerdane in the Tunisian-Libyan border area on March 7, 2016 resulted in over 50 deaths.
On July 30, 2016, the parliament withdrew its confidence in the government of Prime Minister Habib Essid. On August 3, 2016, President Essebsi instructed Youssef Chahed (* 1975), member of the Nidaa Tounes party and previously Minister for Local Affairs, to form a government of national unity, which was confirmed by parliament on August 27, 2016. 167 of 189 members of parliament voted for the new cabinet under the leadership of Y. Chahed.
The successor of Essebsis in the office of the president was interim Mohamed Ennaceur ( * 1934 ) on July 25, 2019. In the first round of the presidential election on September 15, 2019, the political outsider Kaïs Saïed ( * 1958 ) with 18.4%. In the runoff election on October 13, 2019, the non-party, conservative and previously politically inexperienced lawyer won the election with 72.7% of the vote. Above all, he was able to convince voters under the age of 25 in his election campaign. He was sworn into office on October 23, 2019. In the parliamentary elections on October 6, 2019, 41% of voters exercised their right to vote. The winner was En-Nahda with 52 seats, followed by the newly founded Heart of Tunisia party (Kalb Tounis) with 38 out of 217 seats in parliament. The third and fourth strongest force account for 22 and 21 seats. Nidaa Tounes, previously a non-governmental party, landed in the bottom ranks with 3 seats.
On July 25th, 2021, K. Saïed overthrew parliament and government in a coup d’état and assumed office himself. He also lifted the immunity of all MPs. His actions were directed primarily against the moderate Islamist En-Nahda party. This escalation of events occurred against the background of an ongoing economic crisis and an increasing number of COVID-19 cases in Tunisia. While Saïed’s actions are cheered by large sections of the population, critics fear a return to Tunisia under dictatorship.
