Description
The speaker of Tunisia's parliament rejects President Kais Saied's dissolution of the assembly on Wednesday, extending an eight-month power grab. "The president does not have the constitutional right to dissolve parliament," Rached Ghannouchi told AFP in an interview. Saied had dissolved the chamber on Wednesday, dealing another blow to the political system in place since the North African country's 2011 revolt which sparked the Arab Spring.
