How did the dictatorship 2.O start in Tunisia?

Tunisia's President Kais Saied dissolved the parliament in the year 2021 and dismissed the prime minister. Kais Saied has prepared such a draft of the constitution, in which he will get unlimited powers and the country will move forward on the path of dictatorship. Kais Saied is ruling a democratic country in an undemocratic manner.

Kais Saied is resorting to plebiscite to hide his arbitrariness, while the fact is that only a quarter of the people believe that the new constitution is correct. After the new constitutional amendment, the President has unlimited powers. The President can dominate the government and the judiciary. The international Commission of Jurists says that the new constitution is against the balance of power and separation principle.

The protesters on the road say that if the new constitution is implemented, the President will become omnipotent. parliament will become powerless and there will be no power left with the judiciary. It will turn a democratic country into a dictatorship.
