press conference to Ghannouchi worth an initial observations: First, Ghannouchi did not want to officially take responsibility for Fire on the victims between 25 and 26 February, suggesting plots within the authority (security?) Him, but the pain was not in such a state of national duty to declare the facts? Secondly, it was salvation Individually and could not bear the responsibility as one of the officials who formed the government, he must declare the government's resignation as president but only after wide consultations and to arrange the transition. More importantly, the press conference are the visions expressed by Ghannouchi, only after journalists asked: Ghannouchi k »citizen» says that there is a revolution and that the exit of Ben Ali and the transfer of power did not Not normal (flight) and must therefore be a new constitution and constituent assembly elections. And is one of the most important demands of the protesters in the Casbah. Because there is no relation to the forces of opposition and opens a serious dialogue if? It is clear Ghannouchi, the marginalized inside the loop to the central decision-making in the system.
and was quick appointment (can not excuse the state of emergency in front of the high importance of national consensus in the situation Current) for Paget's commander Sbsi (about 85 years) and the first minister means that this system is still closed on itself and clinging to the past and the faces of the past. And isolation from interference by any outside forces, such a system Is one of the bears primarily responsibility to insist on the closure before any serious dialogue
...
I will not defend the parties opposing the government including that form political alliance Almraov as «the National Council for the Protection of the Revolution». But all the political parties or the parties that operate in politics (and naive to believe that any one of the unions in any place And time, especially in the places and times of revolution, not to dabble in politics) are parties designed to power ... or at least the influence
...
but what I will say, And I have said many times, who controls the government is responsible in my opinion for this crisis of confidence now and is a coalition was formed under the auspices of Ben Ali (and was designed to rescue the son of Ali) since January 13,
...
lock this coalition of himself and his refusal during the past period to engage in serious dialogue with the proposals for expansion of power that go ... and then the transitional phase ambiguity arrangements Transitional phase with the exclusion of other parties from the center of the decision form the transitional phase (the Political Reform Commission has advisory powers only .. who decides in the end is the government) ... This is exactly who provided the opportunity for the parties excluded in order to mobilize a number of good Not from people around them ... and I mean the peak reached sit on 25 February ... as induce alliance «Protection Board Revolution »parties that were the backbone of the social revolution of the impoverished classes and even a middle frequency, which provoked the government and private initiatives that Toshi is definitely not with the past and not Clear road map to the pieces
On the other hand the ruling coalition (what I call the Government of January 13) has succeeded in maneuvering again, and as happened in the first sit-induce him Social strata afraid of instability and fear «impoverished encroachment» of the capital
...
clear that induce these two blocs Alssayasitin the social parties Different is not artificial and is an expression of two visions of the meaning of change for the time being affected by the social interests of each party and not just a difference in the arguments and psychologists. I estimate that from And began to carry more blood in this revolution is pushing in the direction of democracy, a more serious and deeper (Jstor and new constituent assembly). And this independently of any opportunism can be characterized by some or all of the parties «Council to protect the revolution». And the fact that there is a mix and Vesfsaoua sit-in in the first and the second stalk. There are political parties and clear and there are young people to reject those parties, but Consistent with the political plan. And therefore difficult to talk about «manipulation» by one party .. There is an attempt take advantage of each party to the other party
Finally, be with spirit And goals and the demands of a sit-stalk does not mean we share the same aspirations of these parties but it does mean that we share the objectives of those in disadvantaged strata of serious and lasting democracy. Ideally, Which I always aspire to do is to produce masses of young people these parties are represented on the new cut with the ideological narratives of this closed political parties. But that is achieved باحتشام الان و ليس بشكل حاسم
