Saeed considered that the Supreme Judicial Council has become a council in which positions are “sold”, and the judicial movement is established based on loyalties.
“I came here at this late hour to say that Tunisians have the right to demonstrate, they have the right to commemorate this anniversary, but within the framework of respect for the law and without clashing with the security forces, given that they are national forces trying to protect them from intruders,” the Tunisian president said.
