Oppositions in Tunisia have broken their much dragged silence on freezing the parliament as they came out strongly opposing the decision of Kais Saied on Tuesday. This is after Saied on Monday announced plans to bring political reforms to Tunisan political system. 

The talks regained momentum months after Saied sacked the government and froze the legislature while also taking control over a wide range of executive power. This has been termed as a power grab move by many of the political experts as now the power solely relied in the president’s hand.

It has been one year since the political grab was executed after the North African country started facing a lot of political and economic tensions which was also compounded by the coronavirus pandemic.
