TUNIS, Tunisia — The Nidaa Tunis Party, which Prime Minister Youssef Chahed belongs to and which is one of the primary partners in the ruling coalition, released a statement May 29 saying that Chahed’s current government foresees a political crisis.
In the statement, Nidaa Tunis criticized those who oppose a government reshuffle by saying they are "looking out for the national interest and stability.” The party was referring to its partner in rule — Ennahda — whose head, Rached Ghannouchi, said May 28, “Maintaining the current government ensures stability for Tunisia.”
