Just a few hours before a referendum on a new Constitution, hundreds of Tunisians are still on the streets to demonstrate against the draft text put forward by their leader.
Officials of the Islamic-inspired Ennahda party stood among protesters in Tunis on Saturday accusing president Kais Saied of a power grab since last year.
The new Constitution aims to give less power to the Parliament as allowed by the 2014 Constitution. A decision considered a threat to democracy for many who praise the 2014 text inspired by the 2011 Arab Spring.
The referendum is taking place a year to the day after Saied sacked the government and suspended parliament in a decisive blow against the country’s young democracy.
