systemic violent that needs to be addressed at its core. we are in a race against the barrier and no one said, we are all say we're looking at the world as it is right now, not the world. we like it to be. the devil is always going to be in the details. the bottom line, when i was just, aram could junior 0 fall under a new dictatorship, the president and he acted lawfully when exact the prime minister and put a freeze on parliament. the biggest political party is calling the dialogue. so where does this leave to nice is young democracy? this is insights to ah hello and welcome to the program. i'm bonus. junior is often held up is the only success story of the arab spring. but 10 years on and its democracy is looking

a nation can face is internal explosion and the dismiss. prime minister, he shall, she, she says he will not be a disruptive element. he will hand power to whoever the president chooses. like this street like the chinese in 3, the parliament is also divided today between the majority leading party in department like and doing this and who elation was called and described the decision of president christ. i've constitutional dictatorship. why again, he's this decision. democracy leaving it biggest. today, there were also fears of a crackdown on the freedom of press. after security forces stormed al jazeera buildings. it's a move out there has strongly condemned. the president's move had fall, i must protest with much of the anger direct. is it the enough to party for the handling of the economy and a raging pandemic? of this fear?

it's an unconstitutional power grabbed the could lead to a dictatorship, a move that would see the end to the jasmine revolution. the paid the way to a decade of democracy. lower about among the for inside story. ah, let's bring in august joining us from june. this is tara kalauia history professor of the mediterranean school of business. and he's also a political analyst on june is here from washington, d. c. sarah, your keys, a senior fellow in carnegie's middle east program and from both in turkey. sali, yes and a fellow at the ostrom workshop at the indiana university bloomington, a warm welcome to you all, sarah, if i can begin with you, you are tweeting earlier. what to watch out for? is this pans out if the president grabs more power, will looking at a qu, we should keep an eye on the reaction of the security forces. sure,

keeping on other arab states. is this not really though just a coup in slow motion? to me, it looks like a cou, i think if you read the constitution that the president is using to justify his actions, it very clearly states that he needs to consult the prime minister and the speaker of parliament before taking these emergency actions, which he didn't do so i think it's very hard for him to say that this is not a coo and i think, you know, we're still the things are still unfolding. we need to keep watching. what else he does. if he does put a new government in power very quickly, then maybe we can back off from that. but right now i think it clearly looks like sali, the e u and the u. s. hasn't said it's a qu yet. what are they waiting for? first and foremost, i believe the priority of the us and euro is on keeping states the realty to the stable country. so perhaps they might be stressed regarding this more where we're, if this move key to, to stable. and furthermore,

if it, if it promises a certain level of prosperity in the long run, the us and euro might just be satisfied with what they had. ok, well correct salo mentioned there, the need for stability that what they, she need his general labor union is worry. busy about worried about civil society groups are worried about an order is worried about the role they will seem to be giving the president time. yes, exactly. so what do i have 1st of all, just to give you a little bit. busy earlier with what, what might make this a cool really is if the president would go beyond the 30 days. clearly he has an interpretation that is very problematic. they would say of the, of cause 80, he could have a lot of power a, but this is not really traditional military. some people are basically comparing

this to having to egypt, which is not exactly that an agent context. so that's point one. it might become a who, but for now it's not. and not even establishing a government that would be the solution that is going to establish government. everyone knows that guy name a prime minister coming out of this not days. and you government is going to be established. the main question that they're going to be controversy about is if you goes beyond the dates for closing down the problem. but here we have to put those in context things and because we're not dealing with the regular additional established liberal democracy, we're talking about the democracy that is still incomplete. major, basically institutions. we're not completed the, especially the constitutional court. and this is a responsibility lays on political parties, the political, anything,

clothing and especially in leather, which was one of the main parties since 2011. and, you know, this is just not worked. what has been established by 2015 as the position says, but the matter is that it's possible among other major political parties. but the certainly it's the main part of that responsible or not. basically because she georgia including abolition course. ok. so will touch on the maturity of trinity in democracy a little bit later on. but sarah, the prime minister, the now the x prime minister hisham, she, she, he seemed also now willing, is willing to give way and waits. why has he done this so easily? so willingly i think in part, yeah, i think in part because of the, this idea of stability that we're talking about. i don't think he has much to gain from trying to fight this. i think, you know, between all the various measures that the president has laid out, including the curfew and quitting travel bands. and i think it's, you know,

i'm sure the prime minister is not happier. a former prime minister is not happy, but i do think it's in his interest to just kind of quietly step down and see where things play out. sally, do you, do you think that the prime minister or the president might try and consolidate power further? what mighty try and do so the $1000000.00 question, and i don't have an answer. unfortunately, trudges can be said propagated for direct democracy. and even after his being through roger speeches, he was also very critical and skeptical portico. parties, particularly the ones we should consider as their barriers, you know, for kids direct engagement with citizens or for him to be able to represent the general be of, you know, so he had some ideas about direct democracy and he even occasional reference, the real, whoever did not see any concrete action in his,

in his side to be able to implement. but he had in his mind. so, and you also consider that i got outside or unlike delay, the president, the guy who had had some network relationships inside the broker's site, coming as an outsider, he will most likely need the support of individuals who have me shared with some ideological or may not sure or so even if you try to call so there's power, it will eventually lead to forming new coalition within the government. not only going to also region property as well. ok . sorry. it took shelly on the state of the state of judy and democracy. i mean 1st

firstly, how significant are the differences between the religious and secular parties they managed to govern by consensus for years. our differences being amplified by side force is what's going on that daily. one of the main misleading ways of looking at what's happening in procedures they, they come to me between some of the secular parties and the idea that the consensus between the tickler this summer party is going to resolve the problem that is going to establish liberal democracy in tunisia, but you know, the consensus that was basically agreed upon between a lot of them. one of the main, secular white people after the 2014 elections led to what we can call and but many twenties. it's called a corrupt kind of democracy. democracy that is based on the consensus of individuals, especially the lead that of a lot of them ambitious attempts to the lead that of the of the us added to that is that there is no, we cannot get social delivery would be they would empower,

they would in alliance, but they deliver, they did not make lead major reforms and they did not fight corruption. it's actually the opposite. the issue with the law in with of a team that gives the general amnesty to people who were with the oh, the gm, despotic times. and basically, establishing a non and just form of, of resolving the problems of despotic times. and that was perceived by many regions as basically giving a free card to, to people who are corrupt. and this is the 2019 election was it was a yellow card for the political elite and they think much of the political relief, especially in leather, did not get the point not see how people are really frustrated with what's happening given go way for outsiders and what we may call even populists for sides, including side by side they think is published leanings to the left rather than to,

to the right and emphasizing anti corruption policies and things like that. the mother went on into the additional consensual back sticks and sizing this bridge. between an estimate and missing the whole point that the much of the public is not really interested in these identity politics. it's money in it to nomic social problems and especially production. and i think after almost 2 years of what we have seen of the city, it was the right context that i took that the put unit in the stablished, his rule. and we're going to see him now. he's going to lay down a roadmap that we might talk a little little bit about it later. ok, sarah, has consensus been the problem? i mean with the consensus a been no real opposition. how's that to check on to act as a check on the government? absolutely. i think, you know,

none of the parties in tunisia have been able to actually deliver on the most important thing right now, which is economic progress. neck and prosperity are chinese. and particularly the pandemic caused a lot of this. but even before the pandemic started conditions were, many teachers weren't able to feed themselves. you know, the economic situation for them was decreasing, particularly in the marginalized areas. and so, you know, i'm very skeptical that president died by consolidating power in his own hands. or even if he appoints a new government, i'm not sure you know within 30 days that this government's going to be able to do what they need to do in order to bring tenicia out of the economic crisis level on the health crisis. no government has so far been able to actually adequately deal with the pandemic, which is ravaging tunisia right now. and i think it was a big mistake for side to decide he's going to take this on. on his own, solid, 2018, afro barometer survey found 81 percent of unity and do not feel close to any political

party. how does the president move forward when that is the view change in how the of the current state of the democracy, that political parties? well, the position has always been an outsider. you know, you build your campaign as an outsider and you could take off the particle parties and all the co class in general. and i think this view overlap with tunisia, disclosure illegal and with both parties overall. and i will also cite and parameters study from 2018 where about 90 percent of the major course either in the visuals, the national institutions to be corrupt, to engage in correction. so simply built upon this perception and checking campaign and kept his momentum on being an off site or as usual right now. blame come for for better, right or wrong. maybe to use just it should be in the countries trying to ill

current shortcomings on the boat. to go on the ruling, julie and the fate strategy is now is to continue placing him outsider. so this particular class we were, as you will see in the next 30 years, so it started for portion of the population given him some credit. we will see in the next 30 years 30 days story, whether he can deliver or not. if he can do, or she can use momentum, or if you fails to do so, if popularity with mike, mike dropped substantially. ok, carrick, democracy doesn't solve unemployment, doesn't fix poverty, it doesn't improve public services. does the president need need to promise to continue democracy, or does he need to promise people that he's going to fix the very basic needs they have? what is the out? what are the answers they're looking for? oh, certainly. if i had them to now publicly he's not denouncing democracy,

i think in depth the now it's against many popular denouncing liberal democracy and diseases. basically rejecting a kind of radical democracy. but his road map is not going to be about. that is not going to be about his own projects going to be about the business system is going to push for a road map that would include the certainly referendum of the system you need, which is say, my problem and tell you which gives more floor to political parties, so it's going to push for it to fit in them on the political system is going to push for the system. and he's going to push for a change in the law that is going to basically push for individual lists. again, we can be a little bit sorry that's going to take more than 30 days to sort out, isn't it allen? do you give him? no, no, no. i'm not talking about 50 days. i have. i have to be clear here. what we're

talking about is not the 30 days window the 30 days. i think he's going to go beyond that. the 30 days is going to be the debate if the parliament is going to be open up again or not, sarah, do you see a road block that planning out? is that sort of thing, but the presidency is going to be doing? yeah, i think he has said all along, even on the campaign trail, that he wants a consolidated system, a presidential system. he doesn't like the parliamentary system. he's been saying all along, but he wants to get rid of parliament, which is why i'm very skeptical that after 30 days or within 30 days, he's going to suddenly say ok parliament return. i mean the same people, he doesn't like, it's the same institution that he doesn't like. i do think he will put forward a roadmap that says to me just should have revised electoral law that they should get rid of the prime minister position. they should get rid of the parliament. i don't think that that's what the chinese people necessarily want. maybe they do, maybe we'll see if there is a referendum on that. but the way he's do this is not democratic. you know, if, if he wants to change the system, there's a process, you know,

you do this through the government, you don't decide you're going to suddenly take all the power for yourself. then declare that this is the system you want to have. but then a given the grid situation of many tunisians, worse than it was before the hour of spring. why does it have to be democratic for them? why couldn't not just bring the relief that they're looking for? because i think, you know, if you look at history of kanisha, but also globally, the way that you have better governance that you have better services. the way that you actually get people to things they need is through good governance through better governance. it's not through consolidating power and authoritarianism. it didn't work for tunisia, underbelly. it's not going to work for tenicia under the side. mean, i think what we've shown throughout the world is that, you know, you need to have people, institutions that are accountable to the people. you know, people have a stay in a voice in the region that affect their lives. and the way that they're going this roadmap that i think he's going to put forward is not the way to actually help

deliver for the people. ok, sali, what's happening in junior, there is not how it panned out in egypt, but our unions looking nervously over to the egypt of a lot with envy at the apparent stability that are they worried that it could become a coup with bloody and as brutal as egypt went through, well, i think the comparison, this making a comparison will be over sketching the concept of power graph. so to show you the different countries, egypt with different institutions and kind of say, it's not a system. but i think the answer will depend on your talk, so into leisure. and i think may not, the supporters are rightfully fearful right now, because this is all of the reverse fears, you know, to be excluded from the system in a way that they can not push for clean their work. so but for

other tunisia i think some of them are hopeful, as you saw in the streets, and some of them might be indifferent, and some of them are even nervous. so i don't think that it is appropriate to put all denisia in the same category. cost perspective was fisher. yes. i can see that a certain portion of your population is hopeful that you know, getting rid of the sako political class can do some benefits, and only the realtor. ok. carrick, you are, are unique in it is a much a totally different society from, from egypt. but do people where you all look over to how it's pam dow, that the parents debility economic economy is expected to grow 5 percent by the end of next year. in egypt, junior year is contracted because of the corona virus and the claps and tourism game. so there is a section of the chinese population there with the way down things. they are not

really aware of how much it can on the growth is happening and they see stability. and they see some kind of what they can perceive some kind of prosperity which is not due to the accurate. but really, what's happening is not about comparisons about about being impressed by what's happening. it needs to be that it's by being basically disillusioned by what's happening in please. yeah, that's the main problem. and many tunisians basically a band. we have so many pauls that show denisia, the majority of 3 are still favorable for democratic institutions. and i think so many people that went to the streets in july 25 and celebrate the might the decisions of sides when not basically not have a problem with the market, but they have a problem with a kind of democracy. they see it as rep, they see it as a kind of the mac is a close down politics within consensual,

close domes and did not really establish the main problems of canadians. they did not see the political class expressing their main warriors. and that's why they, they, they, they have a problem with that kind of, not with them, not with the with, but there is still a section that is still somehow in the status of the times. they have just to add something here that map that's going to be proposed by the site is going to be distracted by the balance of forces. so his government that is going to be nominated, the coming as i said, hours of days, got a name of a new prime minister and so on, so forth. they're going to start with major economic, social and challenges. so the, the get a, they're going to be given sometime by the population. i wouldn't say 30 days, i would say $3060.00 days maybe even 90 days to progress. basically watch what's gonna happen. and it's in basically the interest of the side of his government to

do major quick, a basically steps. he's agreement with the i m f is going to be political, but they're going to have an am if agreement very soon, that's going to have a major. what's happened as going to happen in the coming of our folks? unfortunately, we are out of time. but thanks to all our guests to turn chloe to sara yerkes to sali ya awesome. and thank you to for watching. you can see this out. all our programs again, anytime by visiting our website, andre 0 dot com for more debates, go to our facebook page. facebook dot com forward slash ha, inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter handle is a j inside for me, bernard smith and the whole team here. the
