Tunisia-Rached Ghannouchi: We will guarantee that the movements are peaceful

Rached Ghannouchi, leader of the Tunisian Islamist Ennahda party, checks his ballot behind a booth at a polling station in Ben Arous near the capital Tunis on May 6, 2018, as the country votes in the first free municipal elections since the 2011 revolution. - Tunisians head to the polls on May 6 in what is seen as another milestone on the road to democracy in the birthplace of the Arab Spring, despite muted interest in the poll as struggles with corruption and poverty continue. Though parliamentary and presidential votes have taken place since the fall of dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, municipal polls have been delayed four times due to logistic, administrative and political deadlocks.

Speaking to Mosaique FM, house speaker and Ennahdha leader Rached Ghannouchi confirmed that the appeal of his party for a march in support of the administration, befalls within a peaceful framework and that the proposed march will not go past the scope of the law.

“Since the revolution and even before, the roads have been moving… we will guarantee that all movements are peaceful and not a rebellion” he added.

It should be recalled that Ennahdha started an appeal to its bases to launch movements in support of Prime minister Hichem Mechichi government in the conflict with Carthage that has been lasting weeks.
