The Troika has stalled
The painful events that occurred in Sidi Bouzid, two days ago, are symptomatic. The President of the Republic and the President of the Constituent Assembly have been attacked by a mob. They were stoned. Hostile slogans had punctuated their remarks. Yet they came to celebrate the second anniversary of the Tunisian revolution.

At the place where, having set himself on fire Dec. 17, 2010, Mohamed Bouazizi lit the first spark of the Arab Spring.
Obviously, the Troika coalition is at an impasse. The general mood is rather gloomy. The vertiginous rise of food prices is combined with shortages of essential goods. Mass unemployment persists. Inland regions of Tunisia are in deep trouble. Young people join the ranks of the inactive and desperate. Insecurity and violence reign and multiply. Disenchanted, Tunisians are engulfed in the folds of gloomy anxiety the next day.
The power has eventually stalled. The first level of legitimacy in the eyes of the people, the Troika now has no influence. The shifting scale of values has changed its position. Moreover, as yesterday, the President of the Constituent Assembly has suffered taunts at the headquarters of the Assembly, just as on the day in Sidi Bouzid.
The common complaints are numerous. Many widely shared grievances, so to speak. This is the result of the slow development of the Constitution and the resentment towards the political class with its frictions and disputes at the highest level of the state. The tightening of life adds to the resentment expressed in depth.
A play too much overtime, the provisional authority suddenly finds itself in a vicious circle and at the end of its reign. In politics as elsewhere, to hover is counterproductive. The Troika derives its powers from the law on the provisional organization of public authorities. It seems to have focused on the term of its power while evading its provisional vocation l. This results in a very rapid corrosion. Permanent.
In fact, everywhere, there is an outcry. Until recently, Tunisians seemed united, guided by the same impulses. The elections of the Constituent Assembly, the powers that drew their legitimacy and opposition have led divisions. The new government seems far from being humble. With a relative majority of votes, it is advised to require all players, as a majority which is literally overwhelming. Opposition forces, political and civil society are at a dead end.
In any event, though they are in power, it is not an easy task. The opinion is volatile and bloodless. Passion and infatuation are part of any post-revolutionary period and are by appointment. The ingratitude of the burden as well.
The Troika has sought some way out of the current impasse. Since the beginning of the summer and the matter of extradition of former Libyan Prime Minister Baghdadi Mahmoudi, the parties of the Troika are pulling in their legs. The Presidency of the Republic and the Government entered into a confrontation. It cost them both, ultimately.
The reshuffle, announced in mid-June, is still pending. Meanwhile, the situation has worsened in the regions. Particularly violent clashes in Sidi Bouzid, Gabes and Siliana are witnesses. Very harrowing witnesses.
The development of the new Constitution and the laws to enable it and shortly, new elections. Otherwise, the second revolution is brewing, threatening the power of the Troika itself.
