M32-510

September 12, 2015: On Habib Bourguiba Avenue, the protest against the reconciliation law finally took place, despite bans imposed by the Ministry of the Interior and the Prime Minister’s Office, despite terrorist alerts issued by the government, and despite opposition from left-wing parties; three successive marches took place on the avenue. Nearly 4,000 divided but committed protesters chanted slogans against the ruling coalition of Nidaa Tounes and Ennahda to protest the Economic Reconciliation Law, which proposes to drop charges against any person —whether a civil servant or a businessman—who benefited, in cash or in kind, from financial embezzlement during the Ben Ali years, provided they reimburse the state for the estimated amount of the loss. Despite fears of police crackdowns, the demonstrations took place peacefully and without clashes.
