极端高温引发的停电停水危机催生了突尼斯新的政治行动。由新兴反对派组织Nafas牵头,示威者在首都突尼斯集结,要求改善基础公用事业、降低生活成本、保护言论自由,并呼吁总统凯斯·赛义德下台1。该国部分地区气温已达到50摄氏度,国营电力公司STEG在多个地区实施了配给制措施1。
Nafas运动成立于5月,致力于团结传统反对派政党和独立人士1。示威者对政府的治理表达了深切不满。市民穆罕默德·哈维尔表示:"我们无法维持最低生活水平,我们排队取水和面包。这在21世纪的突尼斯是难以接受的"1。抗议活动人士乌萨马·法尔哈特指出:"人民要求政权倒台,因为七年来它证明了自己的失败,没有变革和改革的愿景"1。赛义德自2021年以来已巩固了权力1。
A newly formed opposition coalition in Tunisia has mobilized demonstrations following widespread power and water outages triggered by extreme temperatures across the country. The Nafas movement, launched in May, brought together traditional opposition parties and independent activists to stage protests in the capital, demanding government action on deteriorating public services and broader political reforms.1
The crisis stems from unprecedented heat, with some regions experiencing temperatures reaching 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit), prompting the state-owned electricity company STEG to implement rolling blackouts across multiple areas.1 Protesters gathered to voice demands for improved basic utilities, reduced living costs, guaranteed freedom of expression, and called for President Kais Saied to step down.1
One demonstrator stated: "We cannot maintain a minimum standard of living, we queue for water and bread. This is unacceptable in Tunisia in the 21st century."1 Another activist declared: "The people demand the fall of the regime, because over seven years it has proven its failure, with no vision for change and reform."1
The protests reflect mounting frustration with Saied's governance since he consolidated power in 2021, including through a power seizure that year.1
