Tunis, Tunisia – With many opponents of Tunisia’s proposed new constitution unlikely to vote in Monday’s referendum on whether to approve the document, the path is open for supporters of the country’s President Kais Saied, to vote “yes”, and make one of the biggest changes to the country since its revolution in 2011.
While Saied was criticised by the international community and his internal opponents, many Tunisians, blaming the country’s economic decline on the political elite, rejoiced when he sacked the government and froze parliament on July 25, 2021.
