Six weeks before the presidential election, Kaïs Saïed began a major reshuffle in Tunisia this Sunday, August 25. The list of 22 new ministers and secretaries of state was made public on social networks by the Tunisian presidency. A timing that raises questions.
Kaïs Saïed ‘s ministers knew they were in an ejection seat, but it was almost an entire government that blew up this Sunday.
Accustomed to making replacements in the executive whenever a crisis in the area of competence of the minister in question arises, the President of Tunisia decided this Sunday evening to virtually wipe the slate clean of the current government.
Of the 30 government ministers, 22 have been replaced. A little over two weeks ago, the master of Carthage had already separated from the head of government Ahmed Hachani, without explanation.
The inner circle also thanked
In May, he also thanked Kamel Feki, Minister of the Interior, and Malek Ezzahi, Minister of Social Affairs, who are known to be part of his close circle. Again, without giving reasons.
Neither Imed Memmich, until now Minister of Defense, nor Nabil Ammar, Minister of Foreign Affairs who has often defended the regime in the foreign media, have been spared by this major reshuffle.
Reshuffled cards that raise questions a few weeks before the presidential election, organized at the beginning of October. While the overwhelming majority of candidacies have been invalidated in this election, Kaïs Saïed, who is, for the moment, facing only two other candidates, seems to want to reaffirm that he remains the only master on board.
