Tunisians angry with economic failure, poor governance: Analyst
Press TV has interviewed Hazem Salem, an Egyptian activist from Cairo, and Mouheb Garoui, the executive director of I Watch Organization, to discuss the recent developments in Tunisia.
Salem says the situation in Tunisia “is only a manifestation of the poor governance” of the current and former governments that led to “more unemployment and more regression” in the economic area.
The Egyptian activist says that the government in the country is ‘accustomed to being authoritarian’ and might use the situation “to intensify the securitization of the society” to suppress the popular protests.
The “Arab Spring, which has called for independence, for equality and for freedom is now getting momentum once again after five years,” therefore, “it is now coming to revive the same demands” for economic improvement and democracy.
Garoui, for his part, believes unemployment and corruption are two “ticking bombs” in the Tunisian society; he says the two scourges prompted people to restart protest rallies.
