ontroversy has erupted in Tunisian political circles about President Kais Saied's intention to change the constitution and the political system to a presidential one, especially because no decision on appointing a prime minister has yet been taken. According to the political analyst, Muhammad Bouaoud, if the situation stays as it is without the restoration of Parliament’s work, we will enter a transitional period that may last from 6 months to a year, bringing with it new procedures and decisions. On the other hand, political analyst Muhammad Saleh Al-Obaidi stated that it is too early to judge Saeed's decisions as heading towards the one-man rule, and added that he supports the concerns of some in the absence of a clear political map in the coming days. Shot list: Various shots in front of Parliament - Various shots from the Tunisian street - Interview with (Mohamed Bououd - Political Analyst): - "There has been talk about the possibility of changing the constitution, and there are even experts in constitutional law, such as Professor Amin Mahfouz, who talked about a small constitution or a legal charter that organizes powers to the extent of constitutional revision. Therefore, if President Qais Saeed continues this path without returning work to Parliament or returning work to the current constitution, we are heading to a transitional period that may last 6 months to a year, during which the wheels of the state are managed by a small law or a small law until the limits of the revision of the constitution, which requires other procedures, including the official announcement of the dissolution of Parliament and the suspension or revision of the current constitution. This requires procedures in which Qais Saeed will abuse Article 80 and interpret it with new interpretations that allow him to amend it without returning to Parliament.” - Various shots from Tunis - Interview with (Mohammed Salih Al-Obaidi - Political Analyst): “I think that it is premature to judge Kais Saied's decisions that they are heading towards a one-man rule, I think they are corrective paths within a popular context and within a popular demand for the necessity of breaking with the 2011 system that ruled the country for a whole decade, but all doubts remain, all possibilities remain, and all fears remain, because in the absence of a clear political map of what the system of government should be in the coming days and its commitment to democratic transition and democratic philosophy. All fears remain, and I think that Kais Saied's will go to develop a new political equation that breaks with the 2014 constitution. Perhaps it will be a new constitution that will be put to the elections. Or, in my estimation, he will put forward a mini-constitution that will govern the country, perhaps until 2024, within clear powers in which Kais Saied is the head of the government and he is also the president of the Country. He had announced in his last speech that he would take care of the executive body and any head of government would be a first minister to the President of the Republic, and today the Tunisian civil guards and the Tunisian democracy guards, represented by civil society that does not accept Tunisia to return to the rule of the individual. Even if he accomplishes achievements that are considered valuable and have their historical weight today, Tunisia does not need a savior, it needs institutions, and Kais Saied's has only to return the country to the state of institutions and not to the state of the individual who saves everyone from all evils. I think that Tunisia, which includes the Labor Union, the Tunisian League for the Defense of Human Rights, and a rooted civil society for more than 70 years, cannot allow Kais Saied or anyone else to return to the square of tyranny and the square of the authoritarian state.
