Conference moderated by Bernard Sasso.
After more than 10 years of revolution and democratic transition, President Kais Saied, successor to Béji Caid Essebsi, has opened a new chapter in the contemporary history of Tunisia by "freezing" in July 2021 the activities of the Assembly of People's Representatives (ARP) and then by taking several measures that have given him almost all the power.
Through a referendum and the adoption of a new Constitution, he hopes to put an end to the economic and social drift that the country has experienced in recent years. How can the decisions taken in July 2021 be explained? What can they lead to?
Do they promise a new course for the democratic transition or do they inaugurate an authoritarian drift?
These are some of the questions that the speaker will try to answer.
