[HIGHLIGHTS] Taboubi blames the authorities for the intensification of the crisis and the Foreign Minister declares: There is no dictatorship in Tunisia

Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT) Secretary-General Noureddine Taboubi said that the authorities' policy of intimidation and restrictions on union work will not deter it from playing its national role. He renewed his criticism of the political authority led by President Kais Saied with broad powers since he dissolved parliament and abolished most of the pre-2021 constitutional institutions.

Tunisian Foreign Minister Nabil Ammar said that "there is no truth to a dictatorial trend in Tunisia"
