On Tuesday, Tunisia's foreign minister Othman Jerandi called his European Union counterparts, as well as Turkey and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. The call was to reassure them that following the president's suspension of parliament and dismissal of the government, Tunisia still commits to moving forward with the democratic path.

The statement added that the minister "explained to them that the extraordinary measures are temporary and that his counterparts pledged to continue supporting the emerging democracy."

Al Mayadeen's reporter disclosed that Tunisian President Kais Saied headed an emergency meeting on Sunday for the military and security leaders, after which he decided to "take over the executive authority" with the return of protests to several Tunisian cities.

Our reporter indicated that President Saeed decided to suspend Prime Minister Hisham Al-Meshishi. Saeed also stressed that "these decisions are neither a suspension of the constitution nor a departure from constitutional legitimacy."

It is noteworthy that Tunisia is experiencing nearly 6 months of political conflict alongside economic and health problems.

President Kais Saied, who sees the government’s options as a failure and a subject to pressure from “lobbies” - with the support of Prime Minister Hisham Al-Mashishi of the "Ennahda" movement - suspended the government causing a state of paralysis.
