Tunisia’s top vice president has resigned over ‘big differences’ | Political Issues

Nadia Akacha was described as President Saied’s closest and most trusted adviser.

Tunisia’s chief of staff and international presidential adviser Nadia Akacha have resigned over “significant differences of opinion” on the country’s demands, she said on television.

“I decided to resign after two years … and experienced a huge difference in my thinking [Tunisia’s] all the best and I think it ‘s my responsibility to stop, “she wrote Monday on her Facebook page, without elaborating.

There have been no comments or official confirmation of his resignation from the presidency.

A political analyst told Reuters news agency that Akacha did not agree with Saied’s agreement with the Interior Ministry’s decision to force six security officials, including a former intelligence chief, to resign.

Akacha was described by Tunisian government officials, foreign ambassadors and former staff members of the presidency as a close and trusted adviser to Saied, as well as a way to contact him.

He has been on Saied’s side since taking office in 2019 and during his tenure he seized control at the end of July in what the critics called “anti-law”.

He denied the allegations and pledged to uphold the independence and freedoms that were won in the 2011 Tunisian genocide, which sparked Arab Spring riots throughout the region.

Several other senior advisers have resigned from Saied since his appointment and have not been replaced.

The overthrow of Saied’s regime has left Tunisia suspicious and hampered its search for a way to save government money worldwide.

The president also launched a series of online discussions writing new rules what he said would happen in a referendum, but did not bring in political officials or government agencies.

Although his earlier actions were seen as a great help to Tunisians who are tired of the economic turmoil and political turmoil, political leaders are increasingly vocal in their opposition and groups have also warned of a return to authoritarian rule.

Senior Western diplomats have secretly stated that Saied will not be able to access the international aid needed to finance the budget and repay the debt without any form of political consolidation or greater cooperation in economic reform.

Tunisia’s economy is still struggling with the epidemic and the Saied government elected in September has announced an unofficial 2022 budget.
