Tunisian lawmakers plan to continue holding sessions online despite the president's decision to dissolve the legislature, Parliament Speaker Rached Ghannouchi said. President Kais Saied ordered the dissolution of parliament last week, eight months after his decision to suspend it. His announcement came hours after lawmakers held a meeting and voted to revoke the president's exceptional measures.
Ghannouchi is the head of Tunisia's largest political party, the Ennahda Movement, which is Saied's main opponent. Saied described the parliament meeting as a "failed coup attempt" and a "conspiracy against the security of the state." Several lawmakers, including Ghannouchi, were summoned for questioning by anti-terrorism police. - dpa
