BIC Reacts to the 2022 Tunisian Constitutional Referendum
On 25 January Tunisians voted on a referendum for a new constitution which gives large prerogatives to President Kais Saied with little to no counter-powers, no accountability and the absence of guarantees for a separation of powers. The referendum came a year after President Saied suspended the Parliament and fired his Prime Minister, giving himself almost absolute power, in what political opponents denounced as a constitutional coup.
