Kais saied 

 

  On Sunday evening, Tunisian President Kais Saied overthrew the government, ordering a freezing of all parliament's powers and lifting the immunity of his deputies. He also decided to dismiss the government of Hisham Al-Mashishi and form a government whose president will be appointed later. The President also issued a decision to dismiss the leader in charge of the Ministry of the Interior, as well as the Ministers of Defense and Justice. These measures came after massive demonstrations in the country on Sunday morning in protest against the deteriorating health, economic and social conditions, and the Ennahda’s continued practices in corrupting institutions, penetrating the judiciary and exercising violence against opponents. Saied announced a set of exceptional decisions. .

 The president's decisions were met with great public joy and celebration by the citizens, who celebrated in various squares in support of them. Political forces in Tunisia also supported the decisions taken by the president, Kais Saied, considering that they would save the country and lay the foundations for stability in it. the Alliance for Tunisia party announced its support for all the decisions and measures announced by Saied. As for the Tunisian People’s Movement, it considered that Kais Saied did not deviate from his decisions from the constitution, and acted according to what his responsibility dictated to him within the framework of the law. And it considered in a statement that the president’s decisions were motivated by the desire to Preserving the integrity of the country, the country’s security and independence, and ensuring the normal functioning of the state’s wheels.but most of the political parties opposed what Kais Saeed brought and had a different opinion. 

The Democratic Current Party announced its disagreement with the Tunisian president regarding his interpretation of Article 80 of the country's constitution, and rejects the resulting decisions and actions outside the constitution. As for the Ennahda movement, Said's decisions were considered a coup against it, and a number of political movements close to it, such as the Dignity Coalition, identified with it. Ghannouchi, the leader of the Ennahda movement, and other deputies went to the headquarters of the council, which has been closed since dawn on Monday, but a force of the army prevented them from entering based on “instructions.”

Everything that is happening in the Tunisian state now was documented about two months ago in a top-secret Tunisian presidential document that outlines the plan for the "constitutional dictatorship", a leaked document compiled by Kais Saied's top advisers urging the president to take control of the country. Top advisers to Kais Saied urged the Tunisian president to wrest control of the country from the elected government as it grapples with the coronavirus pandemic and rising debt levels.

The plan is to lure Said's political opponents to the presidential palace and announce the coup in their presence while not allowing them to leave. Other senior politicians and businessmen will be arrested at the same time.the plan is contained in a document passed to Middle East Eye, described as "top secret" and dated May 13. According to the document, which describes the situation as a "national emergency," Saeed is setting up an ambush for those present. However, Meshichi and Ghannouchi will not be allowed to leave the palace, and that the palace will be disconnected from the Internet and all external lines.at that point, the president will make a televised address to the nation in the presence of Meshichi and Ghannouchi to announce his coup.

Indeed, as the document stipulated, then the document stipulates the appointment of Major General Khaled Al Yahyaoui as Acting Minister of Interior and that the armed forces will be deployed "at the entrances to cities, institutions and vital facilities." This is actually what happened this morning, At the same time key people will be placed under house arrest. From the Ennahda movement .. Nour El-Din El-Beheiry, Rafik Abdel Salam, Karim Harouni, Sayed Ferjani, deputies of the Karama bloc, Ghazi Al-Qarawi, Sufian Tobal, businessmen, advisers in the Prime Minister's Court, etc. . And this is what we are waiting for in Coming days !To make the coup popular, the document says that all payments of bills or electricity, water, telephone, internet, bank loans and taxes will be suspended for 30 days, and prices of basic commodities and fuel will be reduced by 20 percent.

  The internal political situation in Tunisia is going through a difficult labor. Its repercussions will continue in the coming days, and other shocking decisions may explode.
