The protests, 10 years after a popular revolt against autocratic rule introduced democracy in Tunisia, represent the biggest bout of political unrest in several years, with police detaining hundreds of people.
“We can’t accept a police state in Tunisia 10 years after the revolution... it is shameful,” said Mahmoud, a young cafe worker who did not give his family name.
The failure of Tunisia transitioning to a Liberal Democracy is only on the Tunisian elite for bringing it here. The collision between Enhadha and the former regime bureaucrats following the election of an elitist Arabist for president has left out any voice for the working class who sparked the revolution of 2011.
