Tunisia has celebrated yesterday the 26th of January 2014 the vote on its new constitution, a constitution which founds the basis of the Second Republic after two years of hard continous work under the dome of the National Constituent Assembly.

The constitution has been ratified after a first reading with 200 voices “for”, 12 votes “against” and 4 abstentions. The ratification of the constitution with such an important majority of MP’s votes shows that consensus and moderation were the watchword of the Tunisian transition to democracy process.

Our constitution is the result of the struggles of free Tunisian young people which started with the national movement for independence, continued with the building of the First Republic and eventually with its different uprisings against the dictatorship, whether in the students movement or popular protests.
