“The judiciary is a red line that cannot be crossed. We are going to defend our judicial power and our democracy. Unfortunately the situation is very serious and [Kais Saied] is not giving any answers. He clearly intends to lay hands on the justice system to be able to attack anyone who opposes his decisions.”

“A large opposition front will come into being to fight this authoritarian drift, especially as the economic and social crisis deepens, increasingly isolating Kais Saied... The big problem since the revolution is this mismatch between the people's socioeconomic demands, unfulfilled until today, and the pursuit of neoliberal policies that has continued post-2011. This is the time for the political class to reflect on the mistakes made in the past 11 years and move forward on new terms.”

“A lot of protesters have large printed placards or pictures of journalists and members of parliament, lawyers, who have been arrested or imprisoned since July 25. They want to return to normal functioning of parliament. They want to return to the 2014 constitution, they want Kais Saied to step down and they would like to see new … [presidential and legislative] elections held.”

“There are other protests happening across Tunisia, all of them to show support for the president [Kais Saied]. These protests are to show that there remains support for what the president is doing. This is despite the fact that there is still no plan to pull Tunisia out of the dire economic circumstance it is in.”

“Today is a historical day. It is the first time the majority of the people are with their president. I have known Saied [Kais Saied] for 40 years. I was in the faculty of law with him, I came from Canada to support him. I'm nearly 60 years old, I am doing this for the young people for their future.”

“It is a positive sign that a woman [Najla Bouden Romdhane] will lead the government. I hope she will immediately start saving the country from the spectre of bankruptcy. She should quickly look at the problems of Tunisians.”

“Ordinarily under Tunisia's constitutional system, the president appoints a prime minister, who then appoints members of her cabinet and this all has to be approved by Parliament. But the president has suspended Parliament - so he's appointed Najla Bouden Romdhane as prime minister, but there'll be no parliamentary approval of this.”

“After Saied [Kais Saied] put the whole country on hold for about two months … he has now produced a set of rules that basically say he holds every form of power, over every aspect of the private life of citizens, ruling over every public and private institution, with no form of checks and balances. The rule of one person is the opposite of democracy. We paid a high price to learn that and that's what people rejected in 2011.”

“The latest decrees completely contradict the 2014 constitution which established a parliamentary system. The decrees are in line with the 1959 constitution overturned by the uprising a decade ago that triggered the so-called Arab Spring. This move puts a plug on the principles of a democratic system.”
