Today, exactly one month has passed since the July 25 coup in Tunisia, an Islamic country. The actions of Tunisian President Qais Said, who tricked the imperialists and put Tunisia into a dark period, and the international meetings he held in the past month were clearly deciphering the plots against Tunisian Muslims.
 
Political uncertainty is showing its effect in Tunisia, an Islamic country that was dragged into chaos with the constitutional coup led by President Qais Said. Reactions are growing against Tunisian President Qais Said, who dissolved the Tunisian Parliament on July 25, 2021, dismissed the prime minister, lifted the immunity of the deputies, threatened the people resisting the coup, and finally extended the 30-day transition period indefinitely.
 
Within a month after the coup, the support visits and statements made to Tunisian President Qais Said from countries such as the United States, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia also revealed the political plot against the Ennahda movement in Tunisia.
 

FROM THE ELECTED PRESIDENCY TO THE DICTATORSHIP

 
President Qais Said, who did a great disservice to Tunisia by deceiving the global imperialists, "Due to the danger Tunisia is in, I had to take the exceptional decisions on July 25. These measures were taken within the framework of the law and the constitution, and it is not a coup as some claim. I'm not a coup, I'm in favor of enforcing the law," he said.
 
Qais Said's speeches and discourses after the constitutional coup on 25 July reveal the contradiction in Said's statements. Claiming that he has a so-called democratic stance, Qais Said's exclusionary stance against the Ennahda movement while consulting with pro-politicians, trade unions and civil society officials who support him also draws criticism.
 
Putting an annotation on the political will of the Tunisian people, Tunisia's putschist President Qais Said announced that the decision to freeze the powers of the Assembly was extended until a second decision was taken. Said was expected to appoint a new prime minister and approve the formation of a new government on August 25, within a month of the July 25 coup. Said's arbitrary and unlawful decision, which prevented the parliament from working, was met with a reaction by millions of Tunisians who resisted the coup, especially the Nahda movement.
 

NAHDA MOVEMENT MAINTAINS COMMON ATTITUDE

 
The Islamic-oriented Al-Nahda Movement, which was the main interlocutor of the coup, which was carried out to return Tunisia to its dark days, did not provoke any provocation, did not resort to violence, and kept the communication path open with its interlocutors, as it has been since the 2011 revolution.
 
The Al-Nahda movement, which was accused of starting a civil war in the July 25 coup d'état and shown as a clear target by the putschists, did not break its prudent stance in the past 1 month. The Al-Nahda movement, which states that President Qais Said's civil war paranoia has no basis and denies that his supporters are armed despite all kinds of injustices, suggested that Qais Said's baseless allegations be investigated by independent observers. Despite being the party that won the most deputies in the last elections in Tunisia, the call of the Nahda Movement, whose presence in the Parliament was blocked by the July 25 coup, was ignored by the dark circles.
 

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST MONTH OF PRESSURE IN TUNISIA

 
The Tunisian Parliament, chaired by Ennahda leader Rashid Ghannouchi, was dissolved.
 
Tunisian Prime Minister Hisham al-Mashishi was sacked.
 
The immunity of the deputies was lifted and the deputies who resisted the constitutional coup were arrested and sent to prison.
 
Al Jazeera's office was closed. Al Jazeera, known for its anti-coup publications, was banned in Tunisia
 
Anwar bin Hassan, Head of the National Anti-Corruption Institution in Tunisia, was dismissed by the decision of President Qais Said. The building belonging to the institution was evacuated by the order of the Minister of Internal Affairs, Reda Garsillawi.
 
Tunisian President Qais Said announced that the decision to freeze the parliament's powers has been extended "until a second decision is taken".
