Ghannouchi: Emirati media stand behind coup in Tunisia

TUNIS, Jul. 26 (YPA) – The Tunisian Parliament Speaker, and head of Ennahda movement, Rached Ghannouchi, on Monday accused the Emirati media of being behind the push towards the coup in Tunisia and targeting the headquarters of the Ennahda.

In an interview with the Turkish channel “TRT”, Ghannouchi said “The Tunisian military establishment separates between what is political and military and it has no interest in getting involved in political issues.”
Ghannouchi added that President Kais Saied’s decisions do not serve democracy or partisan pluralism and reflect a thirst for control of state institutions.

He explained that the office of Ennahda movement held a meeting and took a decision to condemn the coup, and called on President Saied to reverse these decisions.

Tunisian President Kais Saied on Sunday ousted Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi’s government, froze parliament, and suspend the immunity of all its members.
