Ahmed Hachani’s Dismissal
In the night of Wednesday, July 7, Tunisian Prime Minister Ahmed Hachani was dismissed by President Kaïs Saïed through a simple statement published on social media. Following this, Kamel Madouri, the Minister of Social Affairs, was appointed to replace him.
Hachani’s Term in Review
After one year in office, Hachani highlighted his government’s accomplishments through videos posted on social media. These included the increase in the minimum wage, measures taken for water resource management, and proposed amendments to the exchange rate and commercial code.
Tunisia’s Ongoing Challenges
Despite Hachani’s efforts, the country still faced significant challenges such as high unemployment, rampant inflation, and scarcity of essential products, particularly food items. Environmental crises like water access and resource management continued to plague Tunisia.
Political Landscape Shift
The constitutional changes implemented under President Saïed have shifted power dynamics, reducing the authority of the prime minister in favor of the president. Analysts speculate on what this means for Kamel Madouri, Hachani’s successor.
Upcoming Presidential Election
Madouri’s appointment comes just ahead of the presidential election set for October 6. Several potential candidates have faced obstacles in the run-up to the election, with instances of opposition figures encountering legal challenges in filing their candidacies. The political climate remains tense leading up to the election.
