After a weekend marked by clashes in Tunis between supporters of former President Ben Ali and the army, Tunisia should develop a new government Monday, January 17. The Prime Minister, Mohammed Ghannouchi, consulted Sunday representatives of political parties and civil society to begin the transition process.According to Maya Jribi, secretary general of the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP), parties close to power before will be rejected. "The new government will be composed of representatives of the movement Ettajdid (Renaissance), the PDP, the Democratic Front for Labor and Liberties, as well as independent personalities," she said.
These three features were part of the legal opposition in the country. "The forthcoming elections will be supervised by an independent panel of international observers for elections free and transparent," said the leader, who said the three parties had demanded a general amnesty for all political prisoners.
All political parties called legal representation in Parliament or not, are asked to meet Mr. Ghannouchi, but not the Communist Party of Tunisian Workers Hamma Hammami, who is not, nor of the Islamist Ennahdha of Rached Ghannouchi, who lives in exile in London. "Talks limited, flawed democracy," responded immediately to Regueb demonstrators, a city that has seen violent protests harshly repressed by police.
Approximately 1,500 protesters marched Sunday morning to demand a real change. "We did not revolt for the formation of a unity government with opposition from cardboard," they chanted before being dispersed by the army, which has not resorted to violence. The state of emergency in the country on Friday still prohibits gatherings of more than three people.
