The Coordination of Progressive Democratic Forces, the Forum of Democratic Forces and the Republican Party (Al-Joumhouri) said Friday they are “utterly opposed to the political system which the President of the Republic is endeavouring to put in place, notwithstanding his failure to convince Tunisians.”
These political formations said in a joint statement issued following the announcement of the preliminary results of December 24 elections they are “ready to stand firm against” what they called “a dictatorial populist project.”
They urged “all active political forces to close ranks” in a bid to create a “national democratic and social alternative.” The latter, signatories further said, ” lays the foundations for a civic State which champions national soverreignty and which constitution respects the will of citizens.”
