(ANSA) – TUNIS, JUL 26 – As expected, given the relatively low turnout of 27.5% of the popular consultation on the new Tunisian Constitution, the opposition of the National Salvation Front, made up of 5 parties, including the Islamic Ennhadha, and 5 associations, called the referendum results “a fiasco and the entire voting process a play”.
The coalition underlines in a public note that 75% of Tunisian voters did not participate in the vote “thus refusing to approve a despotic constitution”. The Front criticized the figures released last night by the Independent Higher Authority for Elections (ISIE) as unrealistic. “Figures far from those observed by observers, which question the independence of the Commission”, they write. “Faced with this serious failure”, the coalition calls for Saïed’s resignation and the organization of presidential and early legislative elections.
For the members of the coalition, the only valid constitution remains that of 2014 and the head of state, according to the law, is accused of “violation of office and tampering”.
Even Abir Moussi of the conservative party of the Free Desturians (Pdl) of Abir Moussi immediately after the announcement of the exit polls that give “yes” to over 90%, said: “the process is fraudulent. It does not matter if the Constitution has been rejected or adopted, if the participation rate is 70%, 200% or 4000% The process is fraudulent, illegal and illegitimate.
We do not recognize it and we do not adhere to it “. (ANSA)
