Tunisian President Kais Saied summoned the European Union ambassador to protest against the 'non-compliance with agreed-upon frameworks'. This was stated in a statement released by the presidency office. The document emphasizes that the president expressed his protest due to the fact that 'agreed-upon frameworks are not being respected'. The statement also says that Saied 'stressed the need to respect the sovereignty of Tunisia and international law'. This statement was a response to recent comments by EU representatives on Tunisia's internal policy. In Brussels, they expressed concern over the actions of the Tunisian authorities, which, in their opinion, undermine the country's democratic institutions. Tunisian President Kais Saied came to power in 2021 after ousting the government and suspending the work of parliament. These actions drew criticism from the West, which called them an 'autocratic coup'.
