10 Years Later How Tunisia Managed The Democratic Transition Saied’s presidency, marked by an increasing hold on power and skepticism toward reform, poses critical questions about the future of tunisia. the current political climate indicates that saied will likely continue to consolidate his influence over tunisia’s political landscape. For tunisia, 2014 was a year of historic milestones. but despite a new constitution and free elections that led to the peaceful transfer of power to the secular nidaa tounes party, the democratic consensus forged after the country’s 2011 revolution remains fragile.

On 25 july 2021, tunisian president kais saied suspended parliament, lifted the immunity of its members, and dismissed the prime minister and the government.

This article aims to analyse the reactions of both the united states (us) and the european union (eu) in response to president kaïs saïed's efforts to undermine democracy and centralise power. the regression of tunisia’s democratic progress since 2021 has posed a challenge for both the us and eu, namely in terms of their declared commitment. More than six years later, tunisia has gained the reputation as the lone success story of democratic transitions, while other “arab spring” countries continue to descend into wars, extremism, and strengthened dictatorships. Tunisia's democratic transition, celebrated as a glimmer of hope in the "nondemocratic" arab world, has experienced a depressing decline. this research paper delves into the country's inefficient transitional process's intricacies, exploring whether the crisis is embedded in its political or constitutional framework. Tunisia indeed has several assets to make the democratic transition a success: a high literacy rate, a developed middle class, the very advanced status of women and a high level of education and hard workers. the political challenge which tunisia is now facing is that the democratic transition has to succeed.
