In March 2022, a couple of months after Kais Saied’s coup, I met Samia Driss, a leader of Ennahda in France whose trajectory we have followed throughout the preceding pages. I met her at the Place de la République in the centre of Paris, where many demonstrations took place during Ben Ali’s regime and where a new protest to oppose Kais Saied’s ascent to power was about to happen after several that had taken place over the previous months. Indeed, on 25 July 2021, the highly symbolic date of the proclamation of the Tunisian Republic, President Saied announced a state of emergency in Tunisia, suspended the Assembly and dismissed the prime minister. He then placed all powers under his control, with some initial popular support. Exactly a year later, he organised a constitutional referendum to replace the January 2014 Constitution.
