  • Crisis Económica Y Desafección Política En Túnez: Los Desafíos De La Post-Pandemia
    ARI 85/2020 15 de junio de 2020 Crisis económica y desafección política en Túnez: los desafíos de la post-pandemia Bernabé López García | Catedrático honorario de Estudios Árabes e Islámicos en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid y codirector del Taller de Estudios Internacionales Mediterráneos (TEIM). Miguel Hernando de Larramendi | Catedrático de Estudios Árabes e Islámicos en la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha y director del Grupo de Estudios sobre las Sociedades Árabes y Musulmanas (GRESAM) | @mhlarramendi Tema El impacto económico y social de la crisis del COVID-19 corre el riesgo de acentuar las fracturas dentro de la sociedad tunecina. Las elecciones presidenciales y legislativas de 2019 mostraron la atomización del escenario político en ese país. Algunos ya plantean la necesidad de refundar la Segunda República tunecina surgida de la Constitución de 2014. Resumen Los 100 primeros días del gobierno de Elyes Fakhfakh, resultado de las transacciones entre partidos tras las elecciones de octubre de 2019, han coincidido con la crisis provocada por la pandemia del COVID-19. Tras la detección, el 2 de marzo, del primer caso de contagio, el nuevo ejecutivo adoptó una batería de medidas preventivas (confinamiento, suspensión de toda conexión aérea y marítima desde el 13 de marzo, interrupción de las actividades escolares, cierre de mezquitas y limitación de la movilidad). Esas medidas, que han sido respetadas por la mayoría de la ciudadanía, podrían haber influido en la limitada incidencia de la pandemia en el país. Sin embargo, la crisis del COVID-19 ha intensificado los desafíos que debe afrontar Túnez. El impacto económico y social de la emergencia sanitaria corre el riesgo de acentuar las fracturas dentro de la sociedad tunecina, si no tienen éxito los planes de recuperación económica, lo que requerirá un apoyo y compromiso firme por parte de la UE y sus Estados miembros.
