Speaking for the first time on the ongoing protests, Tunisia's President Qais Saeed warned, on Monday, the political parties against trading in the poverty and misery of the young demonstrators.
During his tour of Al-Manhala, his original residence, the Tunisian president told a crowd of young people, that the parties behind the subversive protests only move in the dark, and that they "aim not to achieve the people's demands but to install chaos in society."
The president emphasized that managing public affairs is not based on maneuvers - referring to the Brotherhood's alliances, within parliament and building alliances that harm Tunisia's interests.
He said that political life should be based on stable principles and morals and not on bargaining and blackmail, indicating that this is the method used by the Ennahda movement in the country.
He added that "the protesting youth has the right to employment, freedom and dignity, free from chaos and sabotage." He called on Tunisian youth not to attack private and public property and to follow a peaceful approach.
Protests erupted in Tunisia for the fourth day in a row, as 10 governorates witnessed night field movements, resulting in numerous attacks on private and public property and the attacking of security centers.
The spokesman for the Tunisian Interior, Khaled Hayouni, confirmed the arrest of 630 people who were involved in the sabotage and attack on nightclubs that took place during the past four days.
He said in a statement to Al-Ain News that investigations are still underway to find out the true motives of these acts which resulted in numerous casualties among the security forces, along with many material damages to public institutions.
