Tunisia: The new government of the old regime falters

The people and political organizations require the departure of the regime

Just one day after the creation of a new government, it has been abandoned by ministers of the "opposition" parliamentary. The representative of the Democratic Forum and three representatives of the official union (UGTT) have announced their resignations Tuesday, January 18. A few hours later, the parliament speaker Fouad Mebazaa and Prime Minister Mohammad Ghannouchi left the government party.

The creation of a government by representatives of the Ben Ali regime has been widely rejected by the Tunisian public opinion. Opposition forces calling for the withdrawal of the government party and the creation of a transitional government, opening the way for free elections. In the current government, not only all the characters hated regime remained at their posts, but all key ministries remained in their hands. In total, three departments were allocated to legal parties of "opposition", while all the forces truly representative of the country were excluded. Monday the police dispersed by violent protests in the capital. Protests are again spread throughout the country. The opposition blames the government party for the misery of the country and especially for recent events. The new interior minister has threatened the protesters and again warned against the consequences of remoteness from the government side of the key functions of the state apparatus.

Also parties and opposition forces close to the regime, who were ready to join the scheme and were ignored by him, have criticized the quasi-unilateral government and united the claims of masses of a government transition. The spokesman of the Islamic movement Ennahda and spokesperson of the Tunisian League of Human Rights have criticized the formation of the government and regarded as unrepresentative as it is not the result of a dialogue with all political forces.

Much clearer from the beginning was the Communist Workers Party of Tunisia (PCOT), who had described the mandate given to Ghannouchi to form a new government of betrayal of the popular uprising. In a statement on January 15 he defined the resignation of Ben Ali as a partial victory and called for the overthrow of the entire regime. He saw the democratization of the party in power as a contradiction in terms, and requested a new constituent assembly and a transitional government by the basic forces that have had to prepare for free elections.

Meanwhile, looting and acts of sabotage by the militia of Ben Ali declined. Hundreds of members of the old security forces were arrested by the army or knocked out by the popular committees.

To what extent the regime is prepared to meet the demands of the masses, the coming days will show. It is now clear that the regime is doing everything possible to stay in power. So he will try later to be closer to other political forces. How much it will cost to bribe and how much they allow themselves corrupt, it depends on the vigilance of the mass movement and continuity of protest. Only the popular movement may discourage opportunistic political elite compromise with the regime. The mass movement now faces a race against time to build his power-cons, before the tanks arrive.
