Tunisia's Brotherhood after empowerment inside administrative apparatus
The Ennahda Movement, an ideological offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, moves ahead with what is known as "empowerment", despite the problems it faces inside the parliament and the conflicts it has with President Kais Saied.
The movement has sacked
some of the employees of the Tunisian parliament and replaced them with others
who have affiliations to it.
This is opening the door
for accusations to Ennahda that it wants to control the Tunisian administrative
apparatus, known for long to be independent.
Ennahda works to put its
affiliates in the different administrations, thus making it easy for it to
infiltrate these administrations.
Empowerment
Ennahda's Head and the
Speaker of the Tunisian parliament Rached
Ghannouchi
sacks administrative workers in the parliament, whom he does not like,
according to Tunisian newspapers.
Ghannouchi especially targets administrative workers responsible for
financing and foreign relations in the parliament, the newspapers said.
Ghannouchi came under fire months ago for backing the former Government
of National Accord (GNA) in Libya in the name of the Tunisian parliament.
The GNA was known to be
acting in sync with extremist groups in Libya.
Wealth
Ghannouchi is also coming under fire because of a swell in
his wealth.
This attests to the presence of links between his hostility
to parliament employees responsible for financing as a file and reports about
his growing wealth.
Member of the
parliamentary Committee on Freedoms Meriam Laghmani accused Ennahda of seeking
empowerment inside the parliament.
This is why, she said, it
targets administrative workers.
It just wants to control
the administration of the parliament, Laghmani said.
