“Many people were deceived by hypocrisy, treachery and robbery of the rights of the people,” Saied said in a statement
Tunisia’s president said on Sunday he was dismissing the Prime Minister and freezing parliament in a major escalation of political feuding in the democratic country following protests in several cities. President Kais Saied said he would assume executive authority with the assistance of a new Prime Minister, prompting the biggest challenge yet to a 2014 constitution that split powers between president, prime minister and parliament. “Many people were deceived by hypocrisy, treachery and robbery of the rights of the people,” he said in a statement carried on state media.More Related News
