Our guests this evening an International Spokesperson joins us live from london. Another will be with us shortly. We also have a researcher in political science. Works on Tunisian Society. Thank you for joining us. And social policies in tunisia. An expert in tunisian politics. First and foremost, lets have a recap of the latest events in tunisia. Screaming for the government to resign, hundreds of opposition protesters gathered in central tunisia. The Prime Minister delivered a muchanticipated speech after an emergency meeting with his cabinet. We repeated today our commitment to the principle of relinquishing power in line with the different phases envisioned n the program. Throughout the day, protesters demonstrated across the country will step opposition had been waiting for a resignation within three weeks. A government it continues to govern and make threats and take money from people and to drop the constitution. In reality, it was never written. The islamists party and 20 other political fascist committed to the political road map. It called for the caretaker cabinet within three weeks. The adoption of th new of talks and the sedulg ofmonth president ial elections. Mediators hope the plan will end the political crisis triggered in july by the assassination of opposition l addition of the opposition. They said they would eventually stand down and pave the way for the creation of a new government. It is supposed to put an end to this political crisis in the country. Political opposition is blaming them for failing to make good on that promise. The first question a spokesperson. She is in london. What is going on . Other parties want a Firm Commitment from your party that the government will stand down . The commitment has been made very clearly. There are two other allies. And probably by the Prime Minister himself. What we need now is for everyone to sit around the table and start on the process with a resignation of the government and adoption of the constitution and a clear date for that election. This is what we need. Excuse me. Let me interrupt you briefly. What opposition wants when i say Firm Commitment they want in firm writing and a signed document. So far you have not done. You agree to the principle that you will sign standout, but have not signed anything. The president send this two weeks ago. There are pretexts from some people not to proceed with accelerating the process and completing this transition. They do not seem to be in such a hurry. They are delaying the start of the National Dialogue. Can you give us a date of when the government will step down . This is the critical fact. Political appointees want a date. The moment you set the day, the political transition can be set in motion. And offer has expressed his commitment off the initiative. What we need is for this process to start and the resignation of the government. Thank you. Our guest adjoins as in the studio. You are a representative of a liberal party in opposition. What is your take in what is going on . You heard the spokesperson for another party saying government has committed to standing down. They have done so in writing a little while back. Now if the political dialogue is blocked, it opposition is to blam what is your position . It is easy forhe government to say that. Many bad things happened in tunisia and every time the government comes out and says the responsibility is of the opposition. No, it is not the respoibily the opposition. We aed the government not to declare its will to resign after weeks. It is a long time now. Iran in our understanding, the government wants more time. Our guest has said that they are willing to settle. Why not today . Why not yesterday . Why not tomorrow . Why not as soon as possible . I have been many times in discussions with representatives of the government and every time they say in two weeks. They say we here you when . We are going to do it. When . The political opposition is asking for a Firm Commitment. They want to date. What is the answer . They signed the quartet roadmap. They are committed to the road map. There are allies in that government. The there has been expression of commitment to it. Once you join the National Dialogue, this is another problem. Some of the opposition insisted on excluding certain parties who have expressed commitment, but did not want to sign the roadmap. Let me put the question this way. The Program Provides that a new government and the islamists led government will have three weeks of the political process beginning and a new government will be appointed. And youre telling me that if tomorrow the opposition parties sit down with you at the negotiating table, the clock will begin and three weeks from now we will have a new government in tunisia . Is that is what you are saying . Absolutely. Sometimes we sit down around that table rather than protesting outside. As you said, the process will start and move and we will have that resolution that we want. We have reaction. I think the interesting part is that there is a National Dialogue that is going on. Was started yesterday when was postponed because of the killings that happened in tunisia. It shows clearly that the National Human development is wanting to discuss. It is a good sign. You agree with what was said . To sit down and talk . What is happening is from the very beginning, it has always been there were different personalities. People coming from other parties. There is a National Debate going on. It does not totally true to say that the development is just on its possession and not willing to discuss. I think at the tunisian Prime Minister had said what she said, there would be no questions. But he was not as clear. What is a problem . Why are we hearing two different songs from the same party . Maybe it is coming off of translation. I think your company chance understand everything. Compatriots understand everything. Why are they being ambiguous . Maybe i can just say that maybe the question is inside. There is division. I think that position is to be in that dialogue, this National Dialogue, and push the government to resign. I hope the people who are in the government on the other side this is the real question that neither is really divided. Well, i think it is important to remind that the First Priority is to get this adopted. Im not sure it has to do with it has something to do with [talking over each other] all of the presses are paralyzed. They should continue with this process. They should have adoption of the constitution. There is a last draft that has been made ready. Will get to that in a moment. Ask the Political Fix the political process. It sounds like the Panel Conversation is going on. We have two sides of the political spectrum. One representative of the opposition and a spokesperson for the other. Both are saying theyre willing to sit down and talk, but it is not happening. What is happening is that perhaps what is going on is keep. Let me go back to you. Weeks ago the leader for had agreed that the party would the islamist led government would step down. Now it seems that members within his party are not quite agree with that. What is going on inside the party . The party is united and consistent and very clear. I find it amusing that some have speculations about divisions. It has never materialized. It does not to speculation. We have on the record of him saying he was willing to step down and have a consult natives Consultative Party and did not follow up with that. It is normal for there to be a conversation going on inside the party. The position is consistent. The consultant if Consultative Councils get more details. Our position is that we want both processes to happen as soon as possible. Some are interested in one issue that is a vaccination of the government. They have no interest in adopting the constitution or Holding Elections as soon as possible. Some are motivated by the resignation of the government. They should be interlinked. That position is the same. Many have expressed the same position as that of the Prime Minister. He represents the position of the party, as well as the position of the three parties in the government. That is important to keep in mind. Many have been talking about that there are three parties in this government. They all agree on an initiative. They all also want to continue until they can ensure that we will definitely have elections in the shortest possible time. I can hear them whispering. Where is the problem on this . Where is the problem on this . [talking over each other] and has been a generally sure problem of getting this done. One of the points of the roadmap is to get this constitution. The but with experts, which is a positive. They should have been written over a year ago. It was last july. It is a timeline of events in tunisia since that oust of the former president. That was in january 2011. At was sparked by the spring across the region and not just in tunisia. The country expenses first free and Fair Elections that saw the victory the country saw its first free and Fair Elections that saw the victory of the beginning of this year, things began to seriously unwind and unravel. A member of opposition was killed. Now we have talks of a National Dialogue to resolve this crisis. Just getting your respective perspective of this. The constitution should have been finished in october 2012. More than a year ago. That is right. This was a provisional government, if you will. Those in any case, the government has outworn its welcome. This was supposed to be a long time ago. That is why most tunisians agree to have a National Dialogue to end the crisis. Tunisia is in trouble. That is a real problem. The longer that hangs on, 20 today. That is getting down to the hard it is perplexing that they do not know what to do with this. It is not only the parties negotiations going on. The real situation is economic and social situations. There is a democratic process going on. Im an observer of the situation. Im quite positive also to see that people are very concerned by the political whether they are taking their right seriously and the freedom of speech. Political free speech in tunisia allowing us to thank you. Hold that thought. We will be back in a few minutes aftr the break. Welcome back. A quick reminder of the headlines. A pilot dies.

You work on Tunisian Society and social policy in tunisia. We also have a professor from the university of paris. We also have an International Spokesperson for a party in london. I would like for us to look at the map that we have put together before the show. Seven Police Officers killed yesterday. That happened in the Southern Region of a city. Also, in the north. The headquarters of a party were torched. A lot of these problem areas there is a general strike going in the central provinces. A lot of these problem areas and cent
