Tunisia-Samir Dilou responds to Mohamed Ennaceur

Ennahdha member Samir Dilou today condemned the accusations of former house speaker Mohamed Ennaceur where he said that some  Tahya Tounes and Ennahdha MPs have attempted to instigate a coup to declare the vacancy of the post of President of the Republic and designate Youssef Chahed.

Samir Dilou deemed it unacceptable to make such accusations in a book, to later state that it was a mere hypothesis. A “hypothesis” has no place in a book, but in a discussion between friends, said Dilou.

He also pointed out the impracticality of such a hypothesis in the presence of the Minister of Defense, Abdelkarim Zbidi, who would have taken the required measures in such circumstances.
