The 'constitutional coup' wasn't a single event but a series of small, legalistic erasures—a decree here, a dismissal there—that eventually added up to a total lockdown of the system. When a leader starts describing unions, the press, and the courts as 'obstacles' to the people's will, the architecture of autocracy is being assembled.

Imagine a nation that once bloomed with the hope of the Jasmine Revolution, only to find its democratic gears grinding to a halt. You’re looking to understand today’s Tunisia, and the scene is high-stakes drama. Since his 2021 "constitutional coup," President Kaïs Saïed has traded pluralism for a legal iron fist, recently sentencing 34 rivals in a massive "state security" trial.
