After graduating, among others, the public concessionaire ENNAKL vehicles (Audi, Volkswagen) in dowry, the son of Ben Ali, as his rival, and another son of Ben Ali, the insatiable Marouene Mabrouk (Monoprix, Geant, Orange , Planet, Motor ... etc ...), maintains its predation has accelerated speed without any shame.
Thus, this lad, fake diplomas without devotee, is fast becoming one of the first fortunes in the country, just because he married Nesrine Ben Ali, the eldest daughter Leila tumultuous Gin current patient care now senile dictator Ben Ali.
's In those circumstances, the rumor had been circulating for quite some time in the business is confirmed: The Tunisian Financial or Real Estate and Maritime Stafim, which is known to be the dealer of the French manufacturer Peugeot automobile, has changed ownership .
should know that the company employs 240 people and has a capital of 5 MTD, the principal shareholder is Moncef Jarraya alongside BIAT and other shareholders. The Stafim was assessed at 46 DOT, French shareholders retain their 34% equity and the remaining 66% will become property of the Holding Azure.
This "Holding" (new apellation fashionable entities mafia clans of Ben Ali's regime), is the company's financial autreque Princess El Materi Holding, the holding company Sakhr El Materi.
If, until recently, these practices did not disrupt the functioning of markets, as seems to be the case today, as suggested by the publication of leaflets and booklets from the business community .
For "clans", commonly known as the presidential entourage, no longer participate only in activities of predation on major contracts, but also as intermediates or as shareholders in the privatization and concession (which would explain that even
donors have not had access to information) and in land speculation and real estate.
Their entry into the world economy has made through traditional patronage often but also by practices such as extortion, forced association with contractors on the most interesting markets, non-payment of suppliers ...
can still cite the creation of monopolies or duopolies private (The travel Mecca, basic foodstuffs, Internet) and the intensive use of "non-repayable loans." This is not so much the drain by these activities is a problem - the system has understood that we should not "kill the beast" - the fact that they feed on the lack of credibility, attention and concealment.
importantly, they tend to modify the forms of government. The administrative environment is deteriorating. The administration is partly stripped in front, for example, work for 26.26 when it should have the capacity itself manage public programs like.
A populist disparagement comes to be added: the President does not shy away from publicly criticizing the customs or other services. Ministries and departments are controlled by different clans. Thus, not only the boundaries between public and private are increasingly blurred, but power continues to centralize, resulting paradoxically by its duplication: all major decisions must be taken not only by governments but by competent "Carthage", where delays and bottlenecks. Because the sanction of the WRC (Ministerial Council restricted, where ministers find themselves, but most advisers Palace), even the President himself, necessary to any decision, maintains the cowardice of the administration.
Privatization and Criminalization of the State and may ultimately undermine the negotiating mechanisms and spaces of autonomy that is, as we have seen, a condition of acceptance of authoritarian or less than the docility of the Tunisians.
concern for whether these economic and political practices are unlikely to influence the decision of donors, which are likely to persist in their positive economic assessment of Tunisia.
These are primarily sensitive to macroeconomic performance (inflation and budget deficit
apparently controlled, balanced and prudent management of exchange rates ...) without considering the means that helped achieve this and, moreover, they are obsessed with stability and security.
However, the Asian crisis of summer 1998 clearly shows the hazards of their ignorance of the political economy of countries in which they operate.
