En­dem­ic eco­nom­ic prob­lems are sti­fling com­pe­ti­tion and in­no­va­tion for small Tunisian busi­ness­es, ac­cord­ing to re­tail­ers.

Amid com­plaints over data man­age­ment, elec­tion au­thor­i­ty main­tains the re­sults of con­sti­tu­tion­al ref­er­en­dum are valid.

Op­po­si­tion says low turnout for con­sti­tu­tion­al ref­er­en­dum shows weak­ness of Pres­i­dent Kais Saied.

Op­po­si­tion large­ly boy­cotted the ref­er­en­dum, re­fus­ing to le­git­imise Tunisian Pres­i­dent Saied’s new con­sti­tu­tion.

Tunisians are vot­ing on a new con­sti­tu­tion put for­ward by the pres­i­dent which many peo­ple in the coun­try are op­posed to.

Op­po­nents large­ly ex­pect­ed to boy­cott a vote they see as in­creas­ing the po­ten­tial for one-man-rule in the coun­try.

Old­er and younger gen­er­a­tions march in Tu­nis to re­ject Pres­i­dent Kais Saied’s draft con­sti­tu­tion ahead of a ref­er­en­dum.

Young peo­ple join anti-Saied demon­stra­tions amid grow­ing anger at pres­i­dent’s pro­posed new con­sti­tu­tion.

Ref­er­en­dum on Pres­i­dent Kais Saied’s new con­sti­tu­tion will be on Mon­day, op­po­nents call it ‘com­plete­ly il­le­git­i­mate’.

De­spite grow­ing op­po­si­tion, Pres­i­dent Saied has re­tained sup­port­ers who will back him in Mon­day’s con­sti­tu­tion­al vote.
