Les résultats des législatives en Tunisie se précisent avec l’annonce jeudi d’une avance de 16 sièges pour l’alliance anti-islamiste Nidaa Tounès. Un autre scrutin se prépare, l’élection présidentielle. The results of the elections in Tunisia are in and give the Nidaa Tounes an extra 16 seats for their anti-islamist alliance. The count continues for the presidential election.

L’instance supérieure indépendante pour les élections (ISIE) a annoncé jeudi les résultats préliminaires des élections législatives du 26 octobre. Dans l’attente d’une proclamation officielle, l’ISIE attribue 85 sièges des 217 de l’Assemblée des représentants du peuple à Nidaa Tounès. Ses principaux rivaux d’Ennahda remportent 69 sièges.

The independent court announced preliminary results for the 26 Oct elections. 85 seats of the 217 assembly go to Nidaa Tounes. The main rival Ennahda took 69 seats.

Ennahda, deuxième force politique (second strongest party)

Ennahda avait reconnu sa défaite dès lundi. Le principal mouvement islamiste du pays perd 20 sièges par rapport au scrutin d’octobre 2011 mais reste la deuxième force politique de la Tunisie. L’Union patriotique libre (UPL), le parti de l’homme d’affaires Slim Riahi, arrive en troisième position avec 16 sièges. Il se retrouve au coude à coude avec le Front populaire, une coalition de gauche et d’extrême gauche crédité de 15 sièges. Enfin, le parti Afek Tounes engrange huit sièges.

They have seen losses. The main islamist movement lost 20 seats since the 2011 elections but still occupy a second strength political party in Tunisia. In third place, with 16 seats, came the businessman’s party (UPL) of Slim Riahi. They find themselves shoulder to shoulder with parties of the left with 15 seats. Lastly with eight seats came Afek Tounes.

Des négociations retardées par la présidentielle. (Delayed presidential negotiations)

Le mouvement Nidaa Tounès s’il est donné vainqueur ne dispose pas pour autant de majorité absolue. Cette formation hétéroclite qui regroupe des figures de gauche ou de centre-droit, ainsi que des anciens chefs du régime de Ben Ali,  va être contrainte de s’allier pour former un gouvernement de coalition. Des tractations qui seront forcément ralenties par la campagne de la présidentielle lancée samedi, pour un scrutin prévu le 23 novembre.

Nidaa Tounes did not achieve an absolute majority. The formation of sundry groups from the left, centre-right and in this way former leaders on the Ben Ali government, is going to be difficult to form a coalition govt. The protracted negotiations have meant a delay in the presidential campaign, launched last Saturday, with results expected on 23 November.

About bill

Worked in the technical / engineering area as a Science Laboratory Technician and as an Aeronautics Engineer. The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013. Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI. Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug 2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website. But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien. The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50. Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea. Technical assistance with each website is by J O'N.
