The United Democratic Patriots Party (PPDU) is far from being a party shaken by dissensions and divisions, said newly elected Secretary General Mongi Rahoui.
He was speaking at a press conference in Tunis on Monday, on the outputs of the party’s second congress.
The party has recovered most of its militants; all 23 members of the PPDU political bureau are among the founders and former members of the party, he said.
Speaking about the July 25 process, Mongi Rahoui said the process «was the logical corollary of a popular revolt, the rise of social protest, the failure of successive policies and the constant calls for disbanding the Parliament and the government.»
The July 25 process is not only a political process but also a “social revolution” that aspires to wipe out the oppressive economic system.
The PPDU’s adherence to this process in no way means giving it a carte blanche, Rahoui assured, reaffirming his party’s readiness to continue the struggle in order to achieve the people’s legitimate demands.
Regarding the dialogue with President Kais Saied as head of the executive and initiator of the July 25 process, Rahoui said dialogue remains «a civil and political mechanism” to deal with the components of the political landscape.
Nevertheless, it could become a senseless dialogue if it does not meet its objective and subjective prerequisites.
