Tunisian President Kais Saied attacked opposition parties seeking to form a counter front to get out of the current political and economic crisis, and announced his determination to implement his program to restructure the political system, which opponents say is aimed at establishing an individual regime.

In a speech he delivered today, Monday, at a celebration at the presidential palace, the 66th anniversary of the establishment of the Internal Security Forces, Saeed strongly criticized those he described as adversaries and became allies, "because they consider power as a spoil and do not care about falling into the arms of anyone at home and abroad," as he put it.

He added that Tunisia is not for sale or marketing, and that the sovereignty of the state is not for barter, as he put it.

The Tunisian president also announced that he is moving forward in enabling the Tunisian people to express their will, ignoring what he called political misery, which he said some people are deliberately trying to do to afflict the Tunisian people.

Despite all the internal and external demands that any political reform process be transparent and inclusive, President Qais Saeed has repeatedly announced that he is continuing to implement his program, which includes amending the constitution, leading to the establishment of a presidential system instead of the quasi-parliamentary system approved by the 2014 constitution, with Change the rule for the election of members of Parliament to vote on individuals rather than on lists.

Saeed presented a road map that included an electronic national consultation that ended on March 20, and witnessed weak participation, a popular referendum on July 25, and parliamentary elections at the end of this year, but the opposition rejected his plans and accused him of taking over the authorities, and demanded a participatory process to discuss reforms. .

The Tunisian president had acquired all powers under the exceptional measures he announced on July 25, which included dissolving the government and suspending Parliament before dissolving it at the end of last month.
