Centrum Stosunków Międzynarodowych - 22 July 2016: Tunisian parliament is trying to remove the current Prime Minister

Tunisian parliament is looking for the next candidate for the Prime Minister post after the statement, that next week they will not support the current Prime Minister of Tunisia Habib Essid during the confidence vote. Habib Essid was under the high pressure since the last month, when the President of Tunisia Beji Caid Essebsi urged to create a new unity government, which will cope with economic and social tensions. In response, Habib Essid refused to resign from the post and called for the vote of confidence on 30th of July. But the ruling coalition, which held 150 from 217 seats in parliament agrees that country needs real changes, and will not support Essid on 30th of July. Tunisia experienced democratic government since 2011 when the autocrat Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali was overthrown. Amid the political democratization, there were no rapid liberal changes in Tunisian economy, which led to the continuing of periodical clashes in Tunisia.
