Sources told Al-Jazeera Net that the differences within the Tunisian parliament reached great degrees of escalation and moved from verbal violence to physical, due to the continued sit-in by some of the deputies inside it, while Tunisian President Qais Saeed warned of resorting to law and the constitution against those who obstruct the work of state institutions.
According to the sources, today’s session witnessed an entanglement between a deputy from the Ennahda Movement and a deputy from the “Free Constitutional Party”, which led to the breaking of the man of one of the two deputies and the dislocation of the other’s shoulder in a scene that Parliament has not known throughout its history. She led to a broken leg in the leg of the Renaissance.
Al-Jazeera's correspondent in Tunisia said that the parliament office had informed the parliamentarians and informed them before the start of the session that it would be held at the headquarters of the sub-building because of the continued sit-in of the deputies of the "Free Constitutional Party" bloc inside the session hall and their access to the platform designated for the Speaker and his two deputies.
Yesterday, the Public Prosecution conducted a survey by sending a delegation from the Judicial Police, accompanied by a written notification of this task, against the backdrop of a complaint filed by the Parliament Office against what it considered a disruption by the "Free Constitutional" bloc to the council's work.
There was chaos in the corridors of the Majlis, due to the refusal of the head of the Free Constitutional Party bloc, Abeer Moussa, to this inspection.
This is not the first time that the bloc has carried out a sit-in inside Parliament. Last December, it carried out an open-ended sit-in in the context of verbal skirmishes with the Ennahda Movement bloc (54 deputies), the largest parliamentary bloc.
Tunisian President Qais Said said yesterday, Monday, that obstructing the work of the parliament is unacceptable by any measure, waving legal measures.
This came during his reception, at the Presidential Palace of Carthage, by both Parliament Speaker Rashid Ghannouchi and his two deputies, Samira Al-Shawashy and Tareq Al-Fititi, according to a video posted on Facebook's Facebook page.
Saeed waved to use what the law allows him to confront this situation, saying, "Today the situation cannot continue as mentioned, and we have legal capabilities that allow the preservation of the Tunisian state, and I will not remain idle before the collapse of state institutions."
He added, "The legal means available in the constitution are available to me today. Rather, they are like missiles on their launch pads, but I do not want to resort to them in this particular circumstance, but I will not leave the Tunisian state like this."
Commenting on President Saeed's statements, Johar bin Mubarak, former adviser to resigned Prime Minister Elias Al-Fakhakh, said, "A firm and decisive political and diplomatic stance towards regional powers that sabotaged the national internal situation, led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE."
He continued in a post on his Facebook page, "This" missile ", which must be placed on its platform and launched without delay. After that, it is an internal matter from which we will find a way out among the people of one homeland."
Many MPs consider that what Abeer Moussa is doing is aimed at confusing, disrupting and disturbing the work of Parliament, and Moussa has often announced that she is against the revolution that toppled the regime of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in 2011, and is openly speaking out against the ongoing hostility of the Renaissance movement and its leader Rashid Ghannouchi.
