looking front child. president chi side has defended, sucking the prime minister on suspending parliament for 30 days. he says he acted lawfully under the constitution. he's also imposed nighttime curfew and band public gatherings to need his biggest political party and not a is calling for a national dialogue to get out of the crisis. while some celebrated the president's decisions, others, a warning of a return to authoritarianism. laura burton monthly reports the near empty streets of tunis or start contrast to days of protests under strict curfew. many have not dared to face the army which is now patrolling tissues, parliament and government buildings with the country. the biggest political group, the enough, the party has called the dialogue and the keys, the president of the clues we reject the juice,

no announcements. and we welcome all the rejections that have come from most of the political party as well as some of your. ready patients and we call the changes in people to the com and vigilant and you ready to defense visible? christy. the many came to the streets and celebration and outrage at president case site both move firing the prime minister and freezing the parliament for a month. the president said, says his decision was taken after following the process laid out in the constitution. nothing to supper. i have taken responsibility. i am taking a historic responsibility. those who claim this matter is related to whom need to revise the lessons in the constitution to present said who controls the armed forces made a storm warning against any one. taking up arms,

saying the biggest danger a nation can face is internal explosion and the dismiss. prime minister, his sham, the, she, she says he will not be a disruptive element. he will hand power to whoever the president chooses like this . like, did you even read the parliament? is it also divided today between the majority leading party in department like and not doing this and who elation will cold and describe the decision of prison. i constitutional dictatorship. why again? he said 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, the 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? or this fear?

it's an unconstitutional power grab that, could lead to a dictatorship, a move that would see the end, the jasmine revolution, the paid the way to a decade of democracy. law about money for insight story. ah, let's bring in august joining us from june. this is tatic chloe, a 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 this pans out? if the president grabs more power, we're looking at a qu, we should keep an eye on the reaction of the security forces to keep an eye 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 sally, 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. so in the stable country, so perhaps they might be strength regarding this more over. if this move, keep to stable. and furthermore, 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, tara salary mentioned that the need for stability. is that what they should need? his general labor union is worry. busy about worried about civil society groups are worried about an order is worried about because they're all they all seem to be giving the president time. yes, exactly. so i have 1st of all to disagree a little bit with says earlier with what, what might make this a cool really is if the president would go beyond the 30 days. but clearly he has an interpretation that is very problematic. they would say of the cross 80, he could have a lot of power a, but this is not really a traditional military. some people are basically comparing this to happen to egypt

or 30, which is not exactly that uneven 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 just not days and you government is going to be established. the main question that they're going to be controversy about that is if you goes beyond the dates for closing down the problem. but here we have to put those 2 in context things and because we're not dealing with the regular. busy additional established liberal democracy, we're talking about the democracy that is still incomplete. major basically institutions were not completed the, especially the constitutional court. and they did the 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 the court 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 you torsion including averaging because ok, so we'll, we'll touch on the maturity of unity as democracy a little bit later on. but sarah, the prime minister, the, the now the x prime minister hisham the 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 it 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. 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. a 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 dollar question, and i don't have a direct answer unfortunately, try to can be, i say propagated for direct democracy. and even after he's been through a private speeches, he was also very critical. as skeptical both parties, particularly the response 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 here and occasionally referenced

the will, however, we 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 you got outside or unlike delay in prison, which is 60 who has had some network relationships inside the broker site . coming as an outsider, he will most likely need the support of individuals who have a shared with some ideological or may not sure. so even if you try to call so there's power, it will eventually need to performing new coalition within the government. not only going to also recent property as well. ok . sorry. you took shelly on the state to 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 there. daily. one of the main misleading ways of looking at what's happening is they, they come to me between estimate and secular parties. and the idea that the consensus between the tickler party is going to resolve the problem that is again established liberal democracy tenicia. but you know, the consensus that was basically agreed upon between another us, the main things that are quite deep after the 2014 elections led to what we can call and but many to even call corrupt kind of democracy. democracy that is based on the consensus of individuals, especially the leader of another, them ambitious attempts to believe that of the of the us added to that is that

there is no economic and social delivery. it would be they would empower, they would in alliance. but they did not deliver, they did not make lead major reforms, and they did not fight corruption. it's actually the opposite. they issued the law in 2017 that given the general amnesty to people who were with the old regime spotted times and basically establishing a non and just form of, of resolving the problems of the 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 elections was it was a yellow card for the police. and they think much of the political elite, especially mother, did not get the point not see how people are really frustrated with what's happening, giving way for outsiders and what we may call, even populace for sides. including side by side,

they think is published leanings to the left rather than to the right and emphasizing anti corruption policies and things like that. the mother went on into the additional consensual, back 6 and sizing this bridge between 6 and some of and missing the whole point that the much of the public is not really interested in these identity politics. it's, it's money in it to nomic social problems and especially production. and i think after almost 2 years of the chins, what we have seen in the city it said was the right context that i took that the put unit established in this room to get a feeling that 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 consent has 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 tunisians were many asians were unable 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 points 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 denisia out of the economic crisis level on the health crisis in 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 that unity and do not feel close to any political

party. how does the president move forward when not is the view changes have of the current state of that? because that political part, well, the position has always been an outsider. you know, you build your camping as an outsider and you could call support the co parties and all the cool class in general. and i think this view overlap with tunisia, lunch with both parties overall. and i will also cite and berman study from 2018 where above 90 percent of course either individuals, the national institutions to be corrupt, to engage in correction. so i say simply build upon this perception and check your campaign and kept his momentum on being an off site or is usually right. no blame, come for better, right or wrong. maybe it's just,

it should be in the countries trying to ill current shortcomings on the political class. on the ruling julie and the faith strategy is now is to continue placing him outside or to this particular class. while we were, if you will see in the next 30 years, so i'll start the course 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 you can use momentum, or if you fails to do so, if popularity, it might, it might drop substantially. ok, tarok democracy doesn't solve unemployment, it 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, what are the answers they're looking for? certainly it's hard them to know publicly he's not denouncing democracy. i think in

depth to be now as it gives many buffets denouncing liberal democracy and diseases, basically rejecting a kind of fanatic 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 system he's going to push for a road map that would include the certainly referendum of the system teenager, which is say mike berlin, montana, which gives more floor to political party. so he's going to push for different 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 list. again, we can get a little bit, but it'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 30 days. they have 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 roadmap like that putting out? is that the sort of thing that the presence 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 tunisia should have, you know, 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 doing this is not democratic. you know,

if he wants to change the system, there's a process, you know, you do that through the government. you don't decide are going to suddenly take all the power for yourselves. then declare that this is the system you want to have. but then, given the grim situation of many tunisians, worse than it was before the hour of spring, why does it have to be democratic for them? why can they not just bring the relief that they're looking for? yes, i think, you know, if you look at history of nature, but also globally, the way that you have better governance that you have better services. the way that you actually get people to think 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 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 vision 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, sally, what's happening in june is there is not how it found out in egypt, but opportunity ins. looking nervously over to the egypt, availa with envy at the parents. 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, the making a comparison will be over scratching the concept of power graph. so to show you the different countries, egypt with different institutions and kind of say, is not a system. but i think the answer will depend on your talk. so indonesia, and i think me and not the supporters are rightfully fearful right now, because this is almost the reverse fears, you know, to be excluded from the system in a way that they cannot push for they cannot claim their work. so but for

other tunisians, 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 towards fisher. yes. i can see that a certain portion of your population is hopeful that you know, getting rid of the soco political class, where there's 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 look over to how it's pam dow, that the parents debility economically, the economies 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 that is in the 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 in each. but 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 competitive. it's about about being impressed by what's happening. you need 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. i think so many people that went to the streets in july 25 and celebrated the night. the decisions of science will not basically not have a problem with democracy, but they have a problem with a kind of democracy. they see it as they see it as a kind of the book is a close down politics within consensual,

closed rooms and did not really establish the main problems of teenagers. 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 old 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's going to be nominated the coming as they said, hours days. he's got a name of a new prime minister and so forth. they are going to start with major economic, social and to him. challenges. so that 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 higher than his government to do major to quick a basically a step to get him. it was the i m f is going to be political. 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 months or folks. unfortunately, we are out of time. but thanks to all august to terry chloe, to sara yerkes to sali yasu and thank you to for watching. you can see they thought all our programs again, anytime by visiting our website, andre 0 dot com and for more debate, go to our facebook page. facebook dot com forward slash ha inside story. you can also draw the conversation on twitter handle is a j inside story for me, bernard smith and the whole team here, 5. ah
