Reminding that Tunisian President Kais Saied decided to freeze all the powers of the parliament and to suspend the immunity of the deputies, citing some existing problems, Demir said:

"We condemn this coup against the will of the Tunisian people. This coup, which will lead Tunisia to instability and delay the solution of the current problems, is to usurp the will of the people. The, whose buildings were targeted by the putschists and exposed to the coup, has also announced that they will stand against the coup by calling on people to hold peaceful protests after this decision. In Tunisia, which is the only country that has achieved political transformation and relative stability after the Arab Spring, it is necessary for people to overcome this challenge. On the other hand, by taking into consideration the demands for the resumption of the democratic process in the country, Tunisian authorities should hold early elections. The new government that will be formed after elections should restrict the powers of the president who carried out a coup against the elected government.”

On Sunday, Tunisian President Kais Saied suspended parliament for thirty days and relieved prime minister Hichem Mechichi from his duties, waiving the immunity of the parliament members and ordering the military to close the parliament house after the demonstrations against the government demanding the improvement of basic services and amid a growing Covid outbreak.

Saied's actions, which included relieving the prime minister of his duties, assuming the executive authority, suspending the Parlament and closing the offices of some foreign news agencies, appeared to have been clear signs of a coup, as they disregard article 80 of the Tunisian constitution which states that before raising an emergency state, the president must consult his prime minister and the head of the Parliament, and even then, the Parliament can’t be suspended. There is currently no constitutional court in Tunisia to offer jurisdiction in his interpretation of the constitution.
