1. KS text is now THE #constitution of #Tunisia. The electoral body, #ISIE, just announce the referendum results: a 27% turnout and 94% of them approving the proposed text. A few takeaways:
2. Does this mean that almost 75% of Tunisians oppose(d) this constitution? Does it change the fact that this constitution is the culmination of an authoritarian, unilaterally, and unconstitutionally conducted process? In my humble view, the response to both is NO.
3. While 27% turnout is very low from a comparative perspective, note that the last Algerian referendum, in 2020, saw only a 23,84% turnout. A major French constitutional reform enjoying the consensus of almost all political parties registered only 30% turnout in 2000.
