After several months of political tension in Tunisia, President Kaïs Saïed has taken a new decision that is causing a lot of talk: the dismissal of Najla Bouden, head of government. This announcement was made without a clear explanation, leaving the population perplexed and the media in full questioning.
According to some sources, this eviction is due to the critical management of a shortage of bread in the country’s subsidized bakeries. Indeed, Tunisia is facing a major crisis linked to a shortage of grain supplies. Suppliers have stopped extending credit to the country, which is heavily indebted. This situation led to an impossibility of producing enough bread, which caused real social tension.
However, some analysts believe that this dismissal is symptomatic of a political governance that seeks to find scapegoats for the economic and social problems of the country. According to Hatem Nafti, a Tunisian essayist, President Saïed seeks to divert attention from his own responsibility by regularly dismissing members of his government without giving clear explanations.
The replacement of Najla Bouden by Ahmed Hachani, a lawyer little known to the general public, has also raised questions. Some believe that this choice is part of the president’s desire to maintain total control over power, without appealing to influential political figures. This demonstrates once again the centralization of power in the hands of Kaïs Saïed and the lack of sharing of responsibilities.
This situation echoes the political crisis that Tunisia has been going through since 2021, when the president took full power by dismissing the Prime Minister and freezing Parliament. Since then, many ministers have been sacked without any real explanation.
In this context, Najla Bouden has become a new scapegoat, carrying on her shoulders the weight of the decisions taken over the past two years. This situation raises questions about the real governance of the country and the role of the president in the current crisis.
In conclusion, the dismissal of Najla Bouden in Tunisia is an event that testifies to the political tensions and the economic and social crises that the country is going through. This decision, taken without a clear explanation, raises questions about the governance of President Kaïs Saïed and his need to find responsibility for the country’s problems. Tunisia thus continues its quest for political and economic stability, with a still uncertain future
