In a joint press release made public on Saturday, July 18, the signatories estimate that “the salvation of Tunisia could only intercede within the framework of an independent national and popular project, separating from the system with its different poles and reactionary and hostile parties. the homeland and to the people ”.

They point to an unparalleled crisis. “The crisis that Tunisia is going through in recent days has reached a degree never attained before, where the conflict has worsened between the poles of the system in power and its parties within the institutions of the State and elsewhere, which has ended in the resignation of the government, and the almost total paralysis of the parliament which has become the symbol of failure and absurdity ”.

“All the indications recognise that the coming period will bring evolutions, in connection with the formation of the new government and the possibility of dissolving the parliament, which is likely to flood the country in swamps detrimental to Tunisia and its people, ”they warn.
