The Tunisian General Labor Union, the largest trade union organization in the country, said that it will tackle all attempts to use Tunisian territory as a starting point for Turkish, American or other foreign interference in Libya, considering that this would be a direct occupation.
The UGTT affirmed in a statement, on Sunday evening, that it is ready to use all its forces and all forms of pressure to prevent dragging Tunisia into “a quagmire of axes,” adding that it calls on the authorities at all levels and competences to abide by the position of refusing to line up and distance the country from being involved in destroying Libya and killing its people.

“Some Tunisian political parties have involved in supporting one party at the expense of the other,” the statement noted.
Tunisian Parliament Speaker Interferes Into Libya Affairs
It’s noteworthy that the Speaker of Tunisian House of Representatives and the leader of the Renaissance movement, Rached Ghannouchi, has sparked controversy against the background of his interference in the Libyan crisis in favor of the Turkish-backed Government of the National Accord (GNA), and his attempt to implicate the country in lining up behind the Turkish-Qatari axis and the quagmire of political Islam.

Moreover, the American Command In Africa (AFRICOM) issued a statement on Friday hinting at the possibility of sending a U.S. military unit to Tunisia, due to the escalation of the conflict in Libya.
In this regard, the Labor Union called on the President of the Republic, Kais Saied, and the patriotic parliamentarians to present a legal initiative that "prevents any party, regardless of its position or strength, from dragging Tunisia to line up behind the alliances, which are all against the interest of Tunisia and against the interest of the Libyans and the peoples of the Arab region.”
The UGTT statement also demanded President Saied, constitutionally empowered to express the national position, to take all security, protection and sovereign measures to preserve our borders and prevent the movement of terrorists to and from Libya.
Tunisian President Saied indirectly criticized Ennahda movement, noting that his country is not involved in deals being concluded all day and night, according to a report published on last Sunday on Sky News Arabia website.
Saied stressed that the president is the only one who represents the country internally and abroad, noting in the congratulatory speech on Eid Al Fitr that the state is not “deals concluded in day and night.”
Ghannouchi Under Tunisian Parties Fire
In conjunction with Saied’s statements, a report by Radio France Internationale revealed that Tunisian Parliament Speaker Ghannouchi has been under a popular campaign and pressure during the recent times to reveal the sources of his suspicious wealth.
It is expected that Ghannouchi will be subjected to an accountability session on June 3rd, in order to expose the reasons for his interference in the Libyan crisis, on the grounds of affiliation to the Muslim Brotherhood group.
Last week, four blocs, on behalf of the Tunisian parliament, condemned the continuous interference of the Speaker of the House of Representatives in the country’s foreign policy and its involvement in the internal conflicts of some countries.
The Tunisian blocs expressed their refusal to involve Tunisia in the regional axis conflicts, adding that this trend contradicts the official positions of the Tunisian state.
Moreover, they stressed that the positions issued by Ghannouchi do not express the position of Parliament and do not bind it to anything, noting that the speaker does not have any legal authority in the constitution or the internal system that allows him to express a position in the name of the parliament.
