In this fourth episode of inkytalk, we take a look at the definition of national consultation and how it can be used as a tool for direct citizen participation. Throughout this discussion, our guests reflect on the lack of methodology in the elaboration of this consultation, leading to a critical reading of its results.
We also take an overarching look at the process adopted by Kais Saied, and his ambition to adapt this consultation to his political project. This consequently raises a real issue of legitimacy in the face of a participation rate that is deemed insufficient to decide on a fundamental change of the political system through the amendment of the Constitution.
Guests:
Chayma Mehdi, Director of inkylab, research and development department at inkyfada
Haythem Benzid, Head of Information and Communication at Al Bawsala
Slim Amamou, Member of the Tunisian Pirate Party
Emna Mornagui, Journalist at inkyfada
Moderator: Emna Chebaane, Editorial Director at inkyfada
Inkyfada Podcast is the first platform entirely dedicated to original Tunisian podcasts, and was conceived by Inkyfada media in collaboration with the in-house research and development laboratory, InkyLab. Inkyfada joined the global podcast boom in 2017, when the team produced the first Tunisian audio documentary, diving deep into the belly of the El Kamour struggle taking place in the desert. Since then, Inkyfada Podcast has produced a wide variety of documentaries, investigations, and podcast series, as well as articles accompanied by music; covering a multitude of contemporary issues in order to offer an immersive and alternative podcast experience. Whilst exclusively offering audio content, the Inkyfada Podcast team upholds the same core values and principles of inkyfada.com, and is committed to producing high quality content though a dynamic and meticulous production process. In addition to the permanent team, Inkyfada podcast works closely with various journalists, artists, illustrators, musicians and other content creators in order to diversify the platform and support artistic creativity. These podcasts differ from traditional radiophonic content in that the applied production and editing process is more akin to cinematographic techniques, in addition to being web-based, downloadable and accessible on demand. Additionally, Inkyfada Podcast uniquely offers subtitles in French, Arabic and English for all audio content, the majority of which is recorded in Tunisian or in the preferred language of the speaker in question.
