The Tunisian civil society received this Friday 9^th October the Nobel Peace Prize for “its determining contribution to the construction of a pluralistic democracy in Tunisia after the “Jasmin Revolution” of 2011”.

Two years ago, at the height of the crisis, following the assassination of progressive leaders, the National Tunisian Labour Union, the Employers’ federation UTICA, the Tunisian Human Rights League and the Bar Association, managed to resume the dialog and gather the different political parties around the negotiation table to form a new government and negotiate a new constitution.

The action of these four organisations was crucial for the democratic future of Tunisia and the preservation of the achievements of the Jasmin revolution. A good fortune not shared by other movements assimilated to the Arab Spring, particularly in Libya and Syria where chaos is the order of the day.
