تونس ومسار التوافقات من التوافق على الدستور و الحكومة و صولا إلى الانتخابات

Abstract EN

All the accords reached between the active Tunisian political parties completes the democratic track, represents an attempt to thwart any likely coup and preserves all the achievements.

Due to its deep faith in reconciliation, Ennahda Party has had the major contribution.

It also denies its aspirations for monopoly over all the components of the people, society and state.

However, there are factors which have delayed the consolidation of a deep, secure democratic track.

One of these is the nature of the transitional stage of preparing for a constitution and legislative elections.

A second is the absence of democratic traditions in the Bin Ali period, encouraging loser parties to try to fail democracy and confuse the general situation.

A third is a media campaign controlled by a united operation room aiming to call the experience a ‘fiasco’ and accuse the Troika, in general, and Ennahda, in particular.

A fourth is the accumulation of political and economic problems in all the state major institutions, structures and social segments – the legacy of pre-revolution ages of despotism and corruption.

A fifth is the delay of forming a republican security force and judiciary reliable for building a modern democratic state.

Nevertheless, Ennahda – with its wide popularity and fellow political powers – has managed to foil any coup by means of the reconciliatory approach it has adopted and whose results it has accepted.

On the other hand, some other parties hoped to fail the election process or postpone it asmuch as possible in a bid to bring back the old system, take over the main posts and put an end to the uprising project.

As for balloting, Ennahda started with the parliamentary option.

Though it has not nominated any of its leaders for presidency for national and regional considerations, it cares for the post and supports an accord candidate for all the citizens.

It actually seeks broad consensus away from any coup scenario as well as to present a Tunisian example.

The country is awaiting general and presidential races by the end of the year, mostly with an accord atmosphere but in favour of Ennahda.

It seems that the previous polarizations have made all the parties assume a kind of balance between them.

At the end of the day, that would be in the interest of the revolution and the country, assisting the new government in carrying out the necessary reform as well as reaching national agreement on possible solutions to major issues.
