2021 Tunisian self-coup
2021 Tunisian self-coup
The 2021 Tunisian self-coup refers to the events that unfolded in Tunisia on July 25, 2021, when President Kais Saied announced a series of measures that effectively dissolved the country's Parliament and suspended the Constitution. The move was widely regarded as a self-coup, as President Saied assumed executive authority and consolidated power in his own hands.
Background
Tunisia has been grappling with political instability and economic challenges since the ousting of longtime President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali during the Tunisian Revolution in 2011. The country's transition to democracy has been marred by power struggles between various political factions and ongoing social unrest.
Events
On July 25, 2021, President Kais Saied announced the dismissal of Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi and the suspension of Parliament for a period of 30 days. He also assumed executive authority with the support of the military and declared a state of emergency. These actions effectively sidelined the country's political institutions and concentrated power in the hands of the president.
Reactions
The move by President Saied was met with mixed reactions both domestically and internationally. Supporters of the president hailed the decision as a necessary step to address the country's political deadlock and economic challenges, while critics raised concerns about the erosion of democratic norms and the concentration of power in the executive branch.
Aftermath
In the aftermath of the self-coup, Tunisia faced a period of uncertainty as President Saied consolidated his authority and implemented various measures to address the country's economic and political challenges. The dissolution of Parliament and suspension of the Constitution raised questions about the future of democracy in Tunisia and the potential for further political instability.
