A piece of news that makes the Internet funny

[ad_1]

Yesterday, August 7, 2024, the President of the Republic, Kais Saied, decided to remove the head of the government, Ahmed Hachani, and replace him with the Minister of Social Affairs, Kamel Madouri. This measure shocked Tunisians because it was announced by Mr. Hachani less than fifteen minutes after he released a series of videos listing the achievements of the government.

Obviously, the latter’s dismissal caused a lot of ink to flow and Tunisians, especially public figures, activists and politicians, did not miss the opportunity to make it a source of ridicule and criticism of the system.

The two editors-in-chief of our newspaper Business News recall some comments made by the head of government that have become known to a certain well-known person. Maroun Ajori recalls that Ahmed Hachani asserted that Cais Said is unbeatable. He announced this during an exchange with former Minister of Education Mohammed Ali Bodiri, who was also fired despite Bodiri’s repeated praises of the President of the Republic. As for Synda Tajine, she recalls the declaration of Ahmed Hachani during his visit to Algeria in October 2023. He declared: “ Aziz Kais Said » (My dear Kais Said).

Our colleague and journalist Zorah Abid also spoke about Ahmed Hashani’s sacking. 27 minutes into her video, he kicked her off the top “, she wrote on her Facebook profile. She went on to describe Mr. Hashani’s famous declaration in Algeria using the word “poor dear”. Journalist and presenter Imed Dabbour also commented on the matter with a sarcastic tone. He simply wrote: ” Hahahaha! You sound very strong! “. This is a message that criticizes the attitude of the current former head of government, who in one of his few media statements stressed the leadership and qualities of the President of the Republic.

Doctor Abdelmadjid M’Selmi, an activist of the Tunisian League for the Defense of Human Rights, believes that the series of videos released by the president of the government are actually the farewell speeches of Ahmed Hachani. Lawyer and radio columnist Sami Ben Ghazi also links the release of the videos to the latter’s dismissal. He believes that the content of these publications, which should have highlighted the achievements of the government, lacks credibility, and even the head of state had to dismiss the head of the government.

Well-known blogger and TV producer Mehrez Belhassen (formerly Extravaganza) did comment on the irony of the news. He expressed regret that the head of government was fired before he was informed of the possibility of using a teleprompter at the same level as the camera during his speeches. Mehrez Belhassen explained that during his last speech, Ahmed Hachani looked at a wall, as if he was talking to a ghost. He believes that an institution as prestigious as the presidency of the government, with its communications services, cannot afford such things. He also believes that the images given during the same speech highlight the fact that Ahmed Hachani has been parachuted into the position of head of government, and he is shot completely out of the window.

As for Atayal’s Secretary-General Nabil Hajji, he recalled that Ahmed Hachani served as head of the government for one year and four days, and before him, Najla Bouden served as head of the Kasbah for one year, nine months and twenty-one days. In both cases, no explanation was given for the appointment or dismissal of these two figures. He questioned the tenure of the new head of government, Kamal Maduri, whose appointment has not yet been explained. He also recalled that Kais Saied has appointed five heads of government since October 23, 2019, three of which were appointed after July 25. ” But the problem is that the political system and the Dark Decade do not guarantee a stable government… or success. “, he commented sarcastically. He also questioned the logic of appointing a new head of government two months before the presidential elections. In the second publication, Nabil Hajji called Ahmed Hachani directly to contact Malek Zahi, Kamel Feki and Mohamed Ali Boughdiri in order to use their expertise in leaving the country through the back door. His comrade, former minister Mohammed Hamdi, openly ridiculed Ahmed Hachani, recalling one of the latter’s most ridiculous remarks. Mr. Hachani said: ” Tunisia is Tunisia… a country is a country “. Mohamed Hamdi believes that such statements by the former head of government will leave a big gap.

Chama Issa, a member of the executive office of the National Salvation Front, re-interpreted an old Tunisian proverb. The purpose of this saying is to warn people to rely on themselves. She added the label “Band of Fools” to the publication. Aymen Aloui, a former MP and leader of the Watad party, also commented on the dismissal of Ahmed Hachani, writing the word “my dear” in Ahmed Hachani’s statement.

Cartoonist Tawfiq Omrane has managed to transform news into an artistic illustration that is sure to be widely commented on. He published a photo of his famous character with a donkey and accompanied it with the following text: Fire Ahmed Hashani. “He said Aziz and in the end he got a fish tail.”
