Abir Moussi accuses the Tunisian president of "hijacking the state"

The head of the Free Tunisian Constitutional Party, Abir Moussa, said that President Kais Saied is about to "kidnap the state."

During a press conference, which she held on Thursday, Moussa criticized Said's decisions, saying that they are evidence that the country has reached "a stage of danger that requires a cry of fear from all the Tunisian people."

"The president has reached an advanced degree of escaping forward in order to hijack the Tunisian state and bring down the republic," she added.

In addition, Moussi criticized the adoption of the drafting of the new constitution "only on the proposals of the President of the Republic and the results of the electronic consultation", which she described as "failed."

The number of participants in the electronic consultation offered by Saeed did not exceed five hundred thousand, "which reflects the lack of interest among citizens who are preoccupied with the deterioration of their living and social conditions," according to the French press agency, AFP.

The aim of this consultation, which was launched in mid-January, was to gather the opinions and suggestions of Tunisians before holding a referendum on the 2014 constitution this summer.

Commenting on the modest turnout, the Tunisian president said in a previous statement that the reason for the low turnout is “the technical difficulties that citizens and female citizens encounter in participating in the popular electronic consultation,” which are difficulties “some of which result from a number of technical choices that must be overcome,” and others. "It is intended by those who want to silence mouths and abort this experiment, the first of its kind in Tunisia," in reference to his opponents, especially the Ennahda party, which has an Islamic reference, which considered what Said was doing "a coup against the constitution."
