The National Salvation Front in Tunisia said that today, Sunday, the authorities prevented its members from reaching the location of its meeting, which was scheduled to be held in the Manihla area, a suburb of the capital, Tunis.
The head of the front, Ahmed Najib al-Shabi, considered what happened as an attack on freedom of expression and demonstration, adding that the front would go to the judiciary to file a complaint.
Al-Shabi thanked the security men, who "played a role in protecting people and protecting freedom, and prevented the aggressors from contacting the Front's supporters."
For her part, the leader of the Front, Shaima Issa, said that the authorities sent what she described as militias supporting President Qais Saeed to spoil the meeting.
Activists and Tunisian accounts broadcast video clips to prevent the security forces from gathering for the Salvation Front in the city of Manihla, on the outskirts of the capital.
Labor union
The General Labor Union (the largest labor union in the country) had criticized the current political course and waved important decisions in the face of the economic and social crisis in Tunisia.
And the Assistant Secretary-General of the General Labor Union, Hafeez Hafeez, considered that "the current political path represents a setback and a retreat from the path of July 25" after Saeed's rule.
The trade union official believed that the government's options for dealing with the economic crisis depend on what he described as a brutal liberal choice, and that the poor and weak classes bear the cost of the crisis.
And last December, the Labor Union announced the start of consultations with civil society organizations and forces in order to formulate an initiative aimed at - what it called - saving the country.
At that time, the Secretary-General of the Union, Noureddine Al-Taboubi, demanded that the electoral process be stopped, after the unprecedented reluctance to hold legislative elections, and that measures be taken to get the country out of its crises.
