The Lecture will evolve around the Tunisian revolution and the democratic experience. It will feature a brief historic presentation of Tunisia and why Tunisia was set to become a democratic country south of the Mediterranean. Ten years of a distorted democracy have led the Tunisian people, who are widely supporting the President of the Republic, to take back control of the country in July 2021 to readjust the path of democracy. During the last ten years, Tunisian Women were at the forefront in defending their rights and struggling against extremism and intolerance. A new road map has been set up that culminates with the holding of the legislative elections in December 2022. He will conclude the presentation by discussing the Tunisia-Swedish relations and the flourishing bilateral cooperation.
