The Free Destourian Party accused Tunisian opposition parties, namely the leftist movement, of abandoning their battle against “political Islam”, calling on the leaders to support the formation of a strong political front against parties that threaten the civil state.
In a letter to President Kais Saied, Leader of the Free Destourian Abir Moussi urged the National Security Council to hold an emergency meeting to take the necessary measures and protect the nation from the dangers of the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS) and Muslim Brotherhood, who are active in Tunisia through Ennahda movement.
Moussi presented evidence supporting claims that IUMS violated the Tunisian constitution, the international agreements on women and family’s rights, and the Personal Status Law.
The government of Hichem Mechichi deliberately facilitated attacks by groups under its cover, affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, against the Free Destourian's sit-in outside the Union headquarters in Tunis, according to Moussi.
Meanwhile, Mohsen Marzouk, the Head of Machrouu Tounes, announced forming a political alliance with Moussi, on the condition of refraining from giving statements that are against Ennahda or contribute to dividing Tunisians.
Marzouk accused Karama Coalition, which supports the Ennahda movement, of waging a proxy war on behalf of Rached Ghannouchi, who has become “the political arm of terrorism.”
Also, activist Olfa Youssef, who is a known opponent of political Islam, said that left-wing parties are backing Nidaa Tounes party and its late leader Beji Caid Essebsi, while they refrain from supporting the Free Destourian and its leader, even though both parties have the same political orientation.
