Washington is concerned about the Tunisian president's decision to dissolve parliament

Today, Thursday, the US State Department expressed Washington's deep concern over Tunisian President Kais Saied's decision to dissolve parliament, which had previously suspended its work last year, after deputies challenged him to vote to cancel the decrees he used to give him almost absolute powers.

State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters that the United States has repeatedly told Tunisian officials that any political reform process must be transparent and inclusive.

Today, Thursday, the powerful Tunisian Labor Union welcomed the decision of President Kais Saied to dissolve parliament, saying that it "consecrates the image of corruption in the political scene", but called Saied to end the exceptional procedures, stop the accumulation of powers in his hand and return to the democratic path.
