Tunisia-Kais Saied : “The members of the Venice Commission in Tunisia are invited to leave immediately

The President of the Republic, Kais Saied asserted that the basic principle of Tunisian foreign policy is that there is no room for interference in internal affairs, as the Venice Commission has done. “Our sovereignty is not subject to negotiation. How is it that a woman (member of the commission) requests that the ISIE redo the elections and organize the referendum on the date she fixes?“, he said .

“We don’t need their assistance and observation. If they are in Tunisia, they are persona non grata and they will not be welcomed in Tunisia, even if we end our membership of the Venice Commission… The members of this commission who are already in Tunis are invited to leave,” he added.
