In his first comment on President Qais Saeed's announcement, today, Thursday, that the diplomatic passport was withdrawn from him, former President Moncef Marzouki told Al Jazeera Net, "What happened today is the biggest evidence that we have entered the stage of absolute tyranny from the big door, and evidence that this man has become the greatest danger." On the Tunisian state, on all people, and therefore a political confrontation with him is no longer possible.”
He added, in a special statement to Al Jazeera Net, in a lengthy and frank dialogue that will be published later, "I am really not surprised by what happened today, and I am no longer surprised by anything of it. This is a historical precedent that did not occur even in the time of tyranny in the eras of Bourguiba and Ben Ali. Previously, and I always say this, from the tyranny of this absolute man, and Tunisia, with his presence, will face a difficult stage.
Al-Marzouki added, "I do not change my opinion of this man, who is a reversal and an illegitimate president, and I do not recognize anything that comes from him. The action that this man took against me today is basically a vengeful measure and does not enter politics, and Tunisia today is entering a dark tunnel and a very dangerous stage." of its history.”
On Thursday afternoon, President Qais Saeed announced, at the meeting of the first cabinet council, of Najla Boden's government, that the diplomatic passport would be withdrawn from the former President of the Republic, Moncef Marzouki.
The decision comes after a sharp controversy in Tunisia and demands to withdraw Marzouki's passport and citizenship, against the background of a speech in which the former president called on France to stop aiding the current Tunisian regime.
Said stressed that Tunisia is a free and independent country and there is no room for interference in its affairs, alluding to the resort of some abroad to beg for begging with the aim of striking Tunisian interests, and that whoever did this would withdraw his diplomatic passport, classifying those who did so as among the enemies of Tunisia.
The Tunisian president asked his country's Minister of Justice to open a judicial investigation into this issue, stressing the inadmissibility of placing his country's sovereignty on the table of any foreign negotiations, he said, considering that the issue is the issue of the Tunisian people, and that sovereignty is his alone.
