Mashishi announced his support for the people of Tunisia and their concessions to safeguard the wellbeing of the people. 

He also stated that he would pass on the responsibility to whoever President Saied designates as Prime Minister. 

The Tunisian President condemned accusations that refer to his actions  as a "coup" and ensured they are "in line with the constitution of Tunisia." 

It is noteworthy that after an emergency meeting with military and security leaders on Sunday, Saied announced the freezing of Parliamentary powers and exempted Prime Minister Al- Mashishi of his duties so long as he maintained executive authority. 

The President also relieved Minister of Defense Ibrahim Al-Bartajy and Minister of Justice Hasna Bin Suleiman. Saeid also issued an order of work suspension for two days in public administrations and institutions. 

These decisions come amid political, economic, and health crises that burden the country. The President's decisions got influenced by the numerous protests in Tunisian provinces demanding the overthrow of the government in light of political and economic crises.
