Tunisia-Tunisia: UGTT called Hichem Mechi to reconsider the appointment of Kamel Ben Younes as head of TAP

UGTT spokesman Sami Tahri stated what occurred yesterday at TAP was unacceptable, particularly the use of police force, calling on prime minister Hicheme Mechichi to reconsider Kamel’s appointment Ben Younes and to publicly apologize to journalists assaulted by the police.

He concluded that the Mechichi and the parties that support him resort to oppression for each demonstration led by their opponents.

This is a ploy to guarantee that the fourth power is on their side, he said, evoking that the appointment of Kamel Ben Younes as CEO of TAP must be understood in the same context as that of the appointment of Hanen Ftouhi at the head of Shems FM.
