In a statement posted on its official Facebook page, the Free Constitutional Party called for a protest in front of the government headquarters in Kasbah on Saturday, November 20, in order to demand the dissolution of parliament and the immediate call for early legislative elections.
In its statement, the party condemned what it called “the absence of political will to open the files of assassinations, slaughter, bombings, the exodus of young people to hotbeds of tension and the breeding of terrorism, and to hold the Brotherhood accountable for crimes committed against the national economy and public finances, as well as political corruption, the falsification of elections by the use of foreign money, the employment of associations to launder money and buy discredit, and other abuses”.
The Free Constitutional Party condemned what it considered “the president of the current authority deliberately ignored the popular demand to dissolve the parliament, which was the most important demand raised during the demonstrations, and demanded the dissolution of parliament, and the immediate call for early legislative elections within short notice“.
The Free Constitutional Party represented the most prominent opposition to the Muslim Brotherhood in the past period, especially in parliament. It had previously issued a call to withdraw confidence from the Speaker of Parliament, President of the Ennahda Movement, Rached Ghannouchi, in August of last year.

The party first supported Tunisian President Kais Saied’s exceptional decisions on July 25, and then started opposing President Saied; to delay the formation of a government and to blur the political map.
