Before, it was not a good taste to be born on November 7 or to have married on this date. She was the prerogative of Ben Ali and his party. For 23 years, those who wanted to celebrate their birthday or a personal event on November 7 did not do it or very little for fear of being pointed out or by “shame”, because doing it could have been considered as pro-ben ali festivities. In addition, in some, it was more psychological than anything else: to associate their birthday with a day as “harmful” was not to suit them and they preferred to silence their date of birth. We can very well imagine the “ordeal” of those who were born on November 7.
After the revolution and the flight of Ben Ali, some breathe. Today, even if the memory of Ben Ali is still omnipresent (that, it should not be fooled), the fact remains that one can celebrate a birthday without being ashamed or without being considered as a member of the ex-unique party. A good birthday cake and what goes with a November 7 can no longer hurt anyone …
It was a thought to all those who were born on November 7 and who can now celebrate it in peace!
