Quick Summary

Hichem Mechichi served as the prime minister of Tunisia from September 2020 to July 2021. He led a technocratic government that gained parliamentary approval but faced scrutiny over its loyalty to President Kais Saied. Mechichi's tenure was marked by political turmoil and an impasse between the presidency and parliament. He attempted to reshuffle his cabinet in January 2021, but President Saied refused to swear in the new ministers, further escalating tensions. The period also saw anti-government protests due to economic stagnation and the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.12
