The Tunisian president Acting Fouad Mebazaa, announced Wednesday, Feb. 9, the opening "soon" from "social negotiations at the national level" in a speech on national television just hours after he had been invested emergency powers by Parliament. The Tunisian Senate had voted earlier law allowing interim president to rule by decree-law, act two of a scuttling of the bicameral parliament inherited from the era of Ali Zine El-AbidineBen.
This legislation must allow the interim president to issue decrees-laws including the general amnesty, international texts relating to human rights, the organization of political parties and reform the electoral code. In introducing the text, already voted in the National Assembly on Monday, Prime Minister Mohammed Ghannouchi, asked the senators to approve "to allow the government to work" and has asked for time to a population that apparently lost patience.
A young man has been slightly injured Wednesday morning in downtown Tunis by a bullet that ricocheted off while soldiers were trying to channel hundreds of people, including disabled people, before a public welfare office to reach 30 at 150 dinars (15.5 to 78 euros). On Tuesday, four hundred to five hundred people stormed the governorate building in the heart of Tunis to demand work and support.
"We are under social pressure because of the demands of the people. (...) The State is not yet time for the ability to meet all these demands. We have no magic wand" Ghannouchi pleaded before the senators. Mr Ghannouchi also announced the legalization "within days" of banned political parties under Ben Ali who made the request.
Among these parties, he has not cited, are particularly Islamist Nahda movement, Rached Ghannouchi, and Congress for the Republic (CPR, left) Marzouki. The head of government said that legalization was next to "prepare transparent and fair elections with the participation of all parties." The transitional authorities have announced the holding of presidential and legislative elections in six months, without advance specific date, while more and more voices to try this time untenable.
