Kais Saied received, on september, 14th,2021 three law experts whom he knows well: two former deans Sadok Belaid and Mohamed Salah Ben Aissa and the academic Amine Mahfoudh.
As usual, he launched into a soliloquy to explain to them the merits of his thought. Parliament is no longer an imminent danger, but rather an imminent danger. He refuted the “coup” thesis that some parties want to convey to national and international public opinion. Like the “alleged abuses” which, according to him, “are intended to defame him in this juncture in which he is committed to saving the state.” Even the few individuals under house arrest move within a radius of 60 km, while the place of others is in prison ”.
The head of state has developed in front of his former teachers and his colleague Amin Mahfoudh, the idea that a Constitution is not immutable but rather evolutionary. He quoted Habib Bourguiba who had declared the day after the adoption of the Contusion of June 1, 1959, that any text must adapt to the evolution of society.
As for the government, he drew a parallel with the first Bourguiba government which only included state secretaries. “On the contrary,” he asserted, “the directors general of ministries have let go of the clout of ministers and they are more comfortable.”
Several people have submitted their candidacies to him to be part of the future government. But, “they are only interested in the post of minister,” said the head of state. “Some people call me and spend hours on the phone lying with me. I didn’t believe hypocrisy could reach this point. I refuse to communicate with such people, especially with crooks and traitors, ”he insisted. The traitors are those who have spent millions of dinars abroad to slay their country and slander the president.
He adds that some parties claim he is perplexed, but they are wrong. “Of course, we have to form a government, but what policy will it adopt? “. “If that was just what they wanted, then I would have returned the government by July 25. “
