Tunisia-Rached Ghannouchi blames Kais Saied for government blockage

The risk lies in the radical speech and in the exclusion as well as division rather than dialogue and compromise,” Ennahdha leader Rached Ghannouchi said.

Dialogue is the single choice to establish civil peace, he told the media on the margins of his participation in a conference organised on the celebration of the 65th anniversary of the Independence Day.

“Tunisia is going through a transitional phase marked by crises and disturbances, as in all the transitional stages in the history of revolutions,” he revealed.

Referring to the obstacle of the government’s action, he stated that the parliament “is not the problem.” “The conflict between the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister is the cause of the government’s action blockage,” he stressed.

The Head of State “is to blame” and “should fulfil his constitutional role and enable the new ministers who won the parliament’s vote of confidence, to be sworn in.”
