Storm of Tunisian rejection of a notation of the Brotherhood  is strengthening abroad

In a post on his Facebook account, Radwan Masmoudi, a leader and member of Ennahda’s executive bureau, said : The US State Department is officially asking Tunisia to focus on the Constitutional Court and to complete the constitutional and democratic institutions.

This post angered Tunisian social media users, who denounced foreign intervention in the country and accused the Brotherhood movement of “bullying foreign intervention to achieve its goals and interests.”

Tunisian President Kais Saied has refused to ratify the Constitutional Court’s law, after parliament approved amendments that reduced the majority required to elect its members from 145 to 131.

According to observers, the President’s refusal to ratify the amendments came after he ascertained that “Ennahda is using the court file as a pressure card to close the door of thinking and initiative before Kais Saied and entrap him in the corner of his limited powers by imposing its options on the composition of the court.”

The amendments that Saied rejected relate to the conditions for electing members of the Constitutional Court (12 members).

The Brotherhood is pushing for the inclusion of a number of pro-Brotherhood figures in the Constitutional Court; to pull the rug from the only Tunisian president empowered to interpret constitutional provisions.

Tunisian MP Mabrouk Karshid wrote on his Facebook account a post saying: “Once again a “clumsy” statement by Ennahda official Radwan Al-Masmoudi, in which he stated that a foreign country had recommended the creation of the Constitutional Court.”

He continued : “to him and other golden boys and others: We will not allow anyone to dictate to us what to do or what to leave behind.”

Tunisian journalist Mounia El Arfaoui expressed her dismay on Facebook: “This man is not ashamed.. It means a leader in a ruling party that allows and allows himself with all the shamelessness of the world to defend foreign interference in the affairs of his country.”

She continued : “You’ve seen more fall than this.. May Allah not hasten your revelation and your scandal”.

In a post on Facebook, Mohamed Fahri Chalabi, a professor of Tunisian Media and Communication, also denounced the killing: “One of them told us that America is formally asking Tunisia to focus the Constitutional Court… “He is happy and does not consider it an external intervention.”

“I applaud him for this because he was honest. He does not consider it foreign interference because he is American, because his loyalty to America, even if he was Tunisian and his loyalty to Tunisia, would have seen foreign interference in him. You don’t like the sincerity of “Tunisians”?.
