Kamel Besbes, former Deputy Mayor of Monastir (Tunisia)

''The Tunisian revolution is above all a revolution of the regions", said Kamel Besbes, former Deputy Mayor of Monastir, Tunisia, addressing the Statutory Forum of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities on 17 June 2011. ''At present, in Tunisia there are 88 recognised political parties which are all advocating regional development. Elections for the Constituent National Assembly will be held on 23 October and, in that context, the setting up of local governments is one of the most important issues that will need to be included in the new Tunisian Constitution'', he explained during an interview for the Congress mobile studio "WebBox".
