  • description: How did the Ennahda movement confront the constraints of the post-revolution political reality, and did it abandon its promises of radical change? In this episode of the Arabi Post podcast, Dr. Riad Chaibi, political advisor to Sheikh Rached Ghannouchi, points out that the path of "consensual democracy" in post-revolution Tunisia created a problem in understanding the adoption of the revolution's demands. It appeared to be a retreat from the slogans of breaking with the old regime in favor of alliances imposed by the constraints of the political reality. This opened a wide debate about the nature of the transformations experienced by the democratic transition and the limits of consensus within it. How did political alliances thwart the Tunisian demands for change? #Podcast #ArabiPost Ghannouchi's advisor opens the Pandora's box... This is how the revolution was stolen | ArabiPost Podcast What happened to Arab societies after the Arab Spring? And how did the subsequent transformations affect Tunisia and the Ennahda movement? In this episode of the Arabi Post podcast, Dr. Riad Chaibi, political advisor to Sheikh Rached Ghannouchi, discusses the state of Arab societies after the Arab Spring uprisings and the profound political and psychological transformations that accompanied them. He focuses on the Tunisian experience as one of the most prominent examples of democratic transition in the region. Chaibi examines the discourse of "salvation" that emerged in several Arab contexts after the revolutions, explaining how it was used to build new political legitimacies. He cites the events in Tunisia following the rise of Kais Saied and the transformations that state institutions and the democratic process underwent. The episode raises a broader question about democracy in the Arab world: Is it solely a domestic, national decision, or is its recognition also linked to regional and international considerations? The guest also addresses the role of economic and financial pressures in influencing political trajectories, the position of Islamists in the democratic transition, the reasons for their rise, and the most significant mistakes made by the Ennahda movement during that period. The episode also discusses Sheikh Rached Ghannouchi's situation in prison and his health condition, within the context of the current political crisis in Tunisia. The Arabi Post podcast is presented by journalist Osama Abu Dhahir.
