Confrontation and spasm
And Abeer Moussa, meanwhile, entered into a confrontation with Parliament employees, after being informed of her inability to join the office, according to the same source.
In the context, the head of the Ennahda bloc in parliament, Imad Al-Khumairi, renewed the call to open a serious investigation into the tampering and crimes committed by Abeer Moussa and some members of its bloc against the institution of parliament.
He pointed out that these violations against Parliament, its administration and its employees are documented with pictures and videos, "an article whereby the public prosecution can open a serious judicial investigation to put an end to this abuse and crime."
Representatives from various parliamentary blocs consider what Abeer Moussa is doing as a disruption and disruption to the parliament’s work, intended to disturb this institution.

Call for a boycott
For its part, the Journalists Syndicate called for the boycott of Abeer Moussa, and confirmed its intention to appeal to the UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression and all relevant UN structures to complain against these fascist practices committed by various political parties that have persistently assaulted freedom of the press.

The Syndicate stressed that it will not compromise in defending its affiliates, regardless of the aggressor, and will spare no effort in defaming these attacks aimed at recruiting journalists and returning the media to the home of obedience, and will not allow them to be included in narrow partisan conflicts.
Abeer Moussa had published a video clip live on her official newspaper on Facebook, which was circulated on pages on the social network, in which she asked about the reasons for the presence of a journalist late in the House of Representatives, and said during the video that there are still misfortunes that can be discovered in the House.
The Syndicate responded by saying that the MP was trying to delude the spectator that she had seized the journalist in a "suspicious" situation. The Syndicate indicated that Abeer Moussa had deliberately distorted journalists and incited them.
