He also assured that the Union would not be involved in Tunisia’s retaliatory policy, pointing out that the "Union’s Statement does not imply that the Union is biased to any side, but it indicates that the Union is biased to the Tunisians."

Al-Bogdairy added, "The Tunisian General Labor Union had called for early legislative elections weeks ago," and, "our role is to maintain national sovereignty and deal with foreign powers and neutralize them." Moreover, he said that the Union "is clearly aware of the foreign intervention plans."

On its part, the Tunisian Diplomatic Corps expressed "its deep satisfaction with the historic presidential decisions announced by the President of the Republic aimed at saving the country from the political and economic situation."

"The President's move was a reform for the revolution's path," Leila Haddad, a Tunisian MP, told Al Mayadeen.

She added, "Tunisians now have hope after hearing the president’s decisions," pointing out that "Chapter 80 of the constitution authorizes the President to take such decisions."

"Activating Chapter 80 of the constitution resembles a popular demand for the Tunisians," Haddad added.

The Tunisian President Kais Saied had issued a presidential order dismissing Prime Minister Hichem al-Mashishi who is also in charge of the Ministry of Interior.

Saied also decided to dismiss the Minister of Defense Ibrahim Bartagi and the Minister of Justice Hasna Ben Suleiman. Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that the roles and responsibilities of the municipal councils have also been frozen, and public clerks have been assigned to run their affairs.

According to Al Mayadeen sources, the Tunisian President has a tendency to dismiss all governors and hold some of them accountable. Besides, local reports say that the Tunisian army will take over from governors, with the activation of the summons against those wanted for justice. 

Following an emergency meeting at his palace, Saied dismissed the country’s Prime Minister Hichem al-Machichi and froze the Parliament for 30 days, late on Sunday. He also announced that he would assume the executive authority.

"What Kais Saied is doing is a coup d'etat against the revolution and against the constitution, and the members of Ennahda and the Tunisian people will defend the revolution," said Tunisian Parliament Speaker Rachid Ghannouchi.
