On Monday, the new Tunisian parliament convened for the first time in its first session in December and January in the presence of elected representatives, after a referendum with just 11 percent of the vote. The new parliament will have limited powers compared to the previous one, which was dissolved by President Qaiz Saeed in July 2021, according to the decree, described by the opposition as a “coup”. A major opposition alliance, the National Salvation Front, said it would not recognize parliament as a result of “conspiracy and the boycott of elections by the majority”.
