The President of Tunisia, Kais Saied, dismissed the finance minister of his government and appointed a judge in his place. This decision was made shortly after the president announced the elimination of the established system from 2020. All dismissals and appointments that occurred after he ousted the prime minister and suspended parliament have prompted criticism even among his supporters. It is noted that this may lead to instability in the country.
The judge he appointed as finance minister specializes in economic offenses, and her appointment has sparked a lively reaction in society. She is the second woman in Saied's cabinet after the appointment of a woman as prime minister. This event is interpreted as an attempt to include women in making key decisions in the country.
However, the events in Tunisia have raised concerns among Western countries, which are calling for the adherence to democratic procedures.
