On July 25, 2021, Tunisian President Kais Saied initiated a series of actions that effectively ended the country’s democratic governance. By consolidating power, the president transitioned the nation from a parliamentary system to a form of one-man rule.
For over a decade following the Arab Spring, Tunisia had been widely recognized as the only successful democracy to emerge from the regional uprisings. President Saied justified these measures by stating that his intervention was necessary to save the state. This shift marks a significant departure from the political framework established in the years following the 2011 revolution.
