Tunisian President Kais Saied stressed on Saturday his refusal to what he called "all suspect attempts" at interfering in the country's domestic affairs.
In the opening of the cabinet's session, Saied said that the Tunisian state is one state, its people one people, and its laws one. He also stressed that any who wish to overthrow the state or misuse its institutions will not be shown leniency, as these institutions must remain objective and for all to use.
