In Tunisia, the aftershocks of President Kaïs Saïed’s coup continue to be felt. About 100 members of the Islamist Ennahdha party have resigned from the movement.
It looks like an implosion. 113 members of Ennahdha, including senior executives like Samir Dilou, a former party spokesperson, decided to slam the party door together.
Until now the first party in the Assembly, Ennahdha has been going through a period of turbulence since July 25, when President Kaïs Saïed decided to freeze Parliament. Strongly discredited in public opinion for its presumed nepotism, the party has been experiencing an internal crisis for two months which has just come to light.
Reproaches about the management of the political crisis
In a statement, the resigners blame Rached Ghannouchi, the party president, for not having known how to manage this moment and for having refused all the advice that would have made it possible to plug the breaches within the movement. The signatories also accuse him of being responsible for the political situation in which the country finds itself.
Some members of the party accuse the leadership of having forged “political alliances” – described as inappropriate – to stay in power, even if it means discrediting themselves with Tunisian public opinion.
Without ever quoting it, President Kaïs Saïed frequently attacks in his speeches this movement which claims to be political Islam. A party whose rout was accelerated by the presidential coup of last July.
