Tunisian consequences analyzed three months after the fall of Ben Ali

.- Only three months have passed since the revolution began, but the Tunisians and are divided by their consequences: for some it has only encouraged the lawlessness and insecurity, while for others it is a success, which will go through a difficult period of up four years. "We can not leave quietly at night with all these robberies, frankly I can not leave home after 20H00." Manifest every day, critique everyone, sell anything on the sidewalks, park in any way means that we under democracy? It is really sad what happens in Tunisia, "exclaims Souha, a bank employee.

Since 14 January, the day of the flight of President Ben Ali, the young are manifested daily in the center of Tunis, and hold strikes and sit in different companies to demand wage increases and hiring. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Beji Caid Esebsi, activated alarms to denounce "overflows unacceptable," citing, among other things, the events they considered too frequent.

"I remember all Tunisians who are concerned about this situation" that "threatens" the major production companies and "does not benefit the country," he said. In the press, every day publish more editorials and commentaries critical of "citizens." "I hurt my country," writes one, "Where are the promises made on behalf of the revolution?" Asks another.

"In all democratic transitions are disorder, and is normal. After 55 years of repression (since independence, ndlr) people feel the need to speak, to act out everything that is in the heart. Tunisians are not yet accustomed to expressed in an organized way, "says Moncef Wannas sociologist.

"It's a required step when moving from an authoritarian regime to a democracy," said political analyst Slah the Jorchi. He said there is "waste" of the old regime "always try to curb any democratic process," not to speak of "new forces (political) still do not have a clear vision." The repeated demonstrations and sit-ins "can not weaken our institutions and increase the unemployment rate and I have fear that these phenomena persist during the election period," says The Jorchi.

On July 24, Tunisians vote freely for the first time since independence to choose a constituent assembly to build the foundations of the Second Republic. "For many Tunisians, the revolution does not mean 'do what you want'. They risk paying a high price because only create a sense of hopelessness against the principles of the revolution: the optimism and motivation to make changes," insists the Jorchi.

To Hmida Ennaifer, writer and independent Islamist, "it is not total disorder." "There are robberies, burglaries, torture in prisons for some time, but the old regime did not see. Now, the cap has jumped," he said. "We are in a period of revolutionary transition, with verbal and sometimes physical violence." "We can not speak of democratic transition until after the elections," July said.

Mabruka, filmmaker, is much more positive: "Maybe there is disorder and insecurity, but also there is freedom," said happy. "I can deal with all issues, even the most daring, without authorization and without being afraid of the reaction of the authorities. I hope it lasts," he sighs Mabruka.
