The Ennahdha movement considers this Friday, July 15 that “targeting its president and speaker of parliament, Rached Ghannouchi, in his freedom, is a clear political attack on the movement, its activists, and the democratic experience in Tunisia”.
In a press release made public in the middle of the morning, the day after the holding of its shura council yesterday, Thursday, July 14, Ennahdha considers such an attack “as an attempt to conceal the fateful failure of the referendum of July 25 ” .
Majless al-Shoura “holds responsibility for what could happen to the president of the movement in power of the coup d’etat which targets him and seeks to instrumentalize justice, for this purpose”.
Ennahdha expresses its “total solidarity with the former head of government, Hamadi Jebali, in the face of attempts to drag him into matters with which he has no connection, and wishes him a speedy recovery after undergoing surgery on his the heart “.
The advisory council reiterated “the position of the Ennahdha movement rejecting the whole process of the coup, and what results from it, and considers the draft constitution submitted to the referendum as null and void”.
He considers the referendum, the results of which are now known, as “an attempt to confer legitimacy on the constitution of the coup d’etat, having concentrated all the powers in the hands of the president, instituted absolute personal power, marginalized the legislative powers and judiciary, annulled local power, and reduced the Constitutional Court…”
“For all these reasons, the Ennahdha movement says it rejects this masquerade referendum and calls for its boycott,” he said in his press release.
