Tunis/Los Angeles/DNA - Tunisia's political landscape is undergoing a perilous shift. Once celebrated as the Arab Spring’s democratic success story, the country now faces the grim possibility of sliding back into authoritarianism, a new study warns. As the October 2024 elections loom, analysts warn that President Kaïs Saïed may tighten his grip on power, threatening to reverse the hard-won gains from the 2011 Jasmine Revolution. But what has led Tunisia to this moment? And why has economic stagnation stifled its democratic aspirations? Researchers behind a new Berggruen Governance Index (BGI) report analyze what happened and what may happen next.
