Tunisia's referendum and voting away democracy (with Dean Schafer)
Manage episode 336716475 series 2909505
On July 26th Tunisian’s voted in favour of a Constitutional Referendum that many suggest is largely a power grab by current president Kais Saied. This referendum was marked by very low turnout (a little over 30%), but a very high percentage of “Yes” votes among those who participated (94%). The opposition boycotted the referendum. Was this constitutional referendum really as bad as the media pundits around the world said? What did the Tunisians vote for exactly? And around the world, why do citizens vote against democracy?
