The Tunisian Renaissance Movement expressed its dissatisfaction with the statements of the Prime Minister, Elias Fakhfakh, regarding the Parliament and its president Rashid Ghannouchi, but called for the support of the government.
Last Sunday, Al-Fakhfakh said, in response to a question about whether he was breaking with Ghannouchi, in an interview broadcast by a local private channel, "There is no break with Ghannouchi, and we are talking to some."
"Ghannouchi is the head of the ruling party, and what he sees as good for his party and his person," he said.
Al-Nahdha (54 deputies, the largest party in the ruling coalition) said that its executive office expressed its dissatisfaction "with some of what was mentioned in the prime minister's dialogue regarding the parliament’s speaker and its president, the head of the largest government-recommending party."
Al-Nahda reiterated its adherence to "its complete conviction of the country's urgent need to expand the political belt of government (the political coalition supporting the government) in order to carry out the necessary reforms and confront development demands within a broad national consensus."
The ruling coalition in Tunisia is made up of the Renaissance Movement and the Democratic Current (Social Democrat / 22 deputies), the People's Movement (Nasserite / 15 deputies), the “Long Live Tunisia” party (liberal / 14 deputies) and the “Reform Bloc” (independents and small parties / 16 deputies) ).
And Al-Nahda called on "all national powers and activities to support the government and give it the opportunity to achieve and face the challenges of reform in the spirit of giving and giving, which our people expressed in the face of the pandemic" (Corona virus).
In the same context, Al-Nahdha expressed her "appreciation for the efforts made by the government during the first hundred days since its adoption." However, Al-Nahda called on the government to "pursue dialogue as one way to confront the economic and social repercussions of the Corona epidemic, by involving parliamentary parties and national organizations in developing an economic recovery plan to mobilize resources and achieve national unity and required national solidarity."
It is noteworthy that the traps refuse to expand the ruling coalition, as demanded by the Renaissance movement.
On the other hand, Al-Nahdha indicated that it is "very concerned about the risks that our country (Tunisia) may face in the event of a second wave of corona spread."
She said that "this calls on all Tunisians and from all sides to be cautious about any complacency with the preventive health measures, especially with the decision to open the borders next week."
