Thousands of Tunisians have protested in the capital city of Tunis against President Kais Saied’s attempts to consolidate political power and to seek an explanation for the protracted economic crisis facing the nation.
On Saturday, supporters of the Ennahdha and Free Constitutional parties conducted concurrent marches in nearby neighborhoods of Tunis, the capital, accusing Saied of economic incompetence and an anti-democratic coup.
The march, organized by National Salvation Front, called for “consensus on a way out of the crisis through a comprehensive and complete national dialogue,” as Tunisia struggles with a worsening economic crisis.
“These failures have increased since Kais Saied overturned constitutional legitimacy and became independent in absolute rule, preoccupied with his tight grip on power,” according to a statement issued by the group.
