Protests in Tunisia are continuing, with demonstrators objecting to the dominance of leaders from the toppled president’s party in the country’s new “inclusive government.” They say the dictator may have gone, but the dictatorship is still there.

They are also concerned about the elite transfer of power which created the unity government, and are demanding more grounded constitutional reforms. Speaking in an interview with the BBC yesterday, the spokesperson for the Communist Workers Party of Tunisia said “We don’t have a constitution. We have a document that has been written, and rewritten, to maintain the dictatorship.”

Sound familiar?
