The cascade of resignations that have occurred in the last 24 hours in the Tunisian transitional government increases the fear of military intervention in political life, as expressed by one of the ministers resigned, Ahmed Najib Chebbi. Chebbi, who until now held the Regional Development Ministry, said at a news conference his concern about the possibility of the occurrence in Tunisia a power vacuum if the executive transition and the opposition forces can not reach a minimum agreement laying the foundations on which the erection of the new political process.
Tunisian politician, leader of the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP), said that the next term expires on 17 Interim President of Tunisia, Fouad Mebaza and that the talks he had with the new prime minister, Said Beyi Essebsi, it will reported that so far has not decided to call presidential elections, but to a constituent assembly.
Chebbi's view, this could lead to "power vacuum" that would lead the army to assume leadership of the country through a coup. "I have fear that the revolution of jasmine (known as the movement that deposed Jan. 14 to Tunisian President Zine el Abidine Ben Ali) is transformed into a coup," Chebbi said.
Essebsi Chebbi said that he had been informed that ministers in the current transitional government can not stand as candidates in the upcoming elections. "This is not normal and shows political ignorance. I proposed presidential elections in June, the new president would dissolve the current parliament and new elections would be convened," said Tunisian political.
"I support the idea of a Constituent Assembly and a new Constitution but refused to replace the presidential elections for a constituent elections as a first step," he said. "This type of voting constituents bring the country into a dangerous situation and make him take a course very uncertain," he said.
The Tunisian transitional executive has suffered four losses in the last 24 hours. Besides Chebbi, resigned on Higher Education Minister, Ahmed Ibrahim, the leftist Renewal Movement, and yesterday, Monday, did the owners of Industry, Aziz Chlabi and International Cooperation Mohamed Nouri Yuini, both of the Constitutional Democratic Grouping ( RCD) party of Ben Ali, whose solution requires some formations of the opposition.
The resignation of four ministers should be added that on Sunday gave its Prime Minister, Mohamed Ghanuchi, who was unable to withstand the enormous social pressure generated by his presence at the head of the executive. After a weekend of extreme violence in the streets of the Tunisian capital, with continuing clashes between security forces and groups of protesters demanding the resignation of Ghanuchi, he left office (which took ten years, both Ben Ali, as the head of the transitional government), who was replaced by veteran Beyi Essebsi Said.
Essebsi, 85 years and closely connected to the traditional circles of power in Tunisia (he was foreign minister during the tenure of the father of independent Tunisia, Habib Burghiba) has also been welcomed by the opposition, which he regarded as a figure the old regime without much ability to lead a political transition.
However, it appears that the target of all the criticism remains Ghanuchi, who today accused Chebbi throughout the stalemate created since the formation of transitional government. Chebbi Ghanuchi directly blamed "to derail the transition government as doubtful and obscure" to govern. On the other hand, the Islamic party in Nahda (Renaissance) was officially legalized by the Tunisian Ministry of Interior.
In Nahda remained 23 years in hiding, the entire period of the mandate of Ben Ali (1987-2011) and in 1991 suffered a major crackdown, which led to the imprisonment of many of its leaders and militants and forced into exile many others.
