Tunisian Workers' Union Denounces Crimes of Muslim Brothers

The Tunisian workers' union warns of the Muslim Brothers' plans to curb the country's largest trade union organisation. Among the plans of the Muslim Brotherhood society is to break the union's backbone.

Sami Al-Taheri of the union exposed the crimes of the Islamist organisation on Monday by posting a blog on its official Facebook page. In it he wrote in detail the plans to weaken the union.

In this publication he mentions that the Muslim Brothers are working to create parallel trade union organisations, making the union lose its strength and trying to enter their structures and thus destroy it and dismantle it.

The Ennahda party has moved on to a new plan based on sowing bubbles of union organs in sectors and regions to distort the union," it says. And he ended by saying that "the game is exposed and the previous systems had used it and failed".

The "cry of panic" launched by Tahiri is seen by supporters as the revelation of the extent of the crime of brotherhood against Tunisians and their state since 2011. It also demonstrates his plans to wipe out all the country's achievements.

The opposition relationship between the Muslim Brotherhood and the workers' union has been in place since 2011. That year, Ennahda supporters attacked the union's headquarters on 4 December 2012, in a stabbing incident in which they attacked dozens of union members, injuring many of them.

The workers' union has convened a dialogue table that will meet in the coming days including all parliamentary parties. The only exception is the Constitutional Free Party, which has refused to participate in a national dialogue with the Muslim Brothers.

They started this meeting with the Tunisian President Kais Saied at the beginning of December. It not only aims to reach an agreement, but also includes a political, economic and social rescue plan.

On Monday, union leaders demanded that the organisation's secretary, Noureddine Al-Taboubi, exclude the Ennahda movement from the national conversation proposed by the union. Confirmed by informed sources, they told Al-Ain Al-Akhbar.

Abeer Moussa, the head of the Free Destiny party, indicated his opposition to the involvement of the Muslim Brothers in stopping the search for solutions to the economic crisis. He also considers that this meeting could be a lifeline for the Islamist organisation that has put the rights of Tunisian citizens at stake.

He confirmed in previous statements that the only solution for Tunisia is to defeat the Muslim Brothers. In addition, the leaders who committed the most atrocious crimes against Tunisians and encouraged the murders and spread of terrorism should be held legally responsible.

These presidential statements will make "national dialogue" an impossible task in the eyes of many observers, especially as the level of discourse between the Muslim Brothers and the opposition has reached a high level of tension.

Earlier the Tunisian "Free Constitutional Party" published a copy of the draft political letter under the slogan "Correcting the way", with the aim of confronting the extremist ideology of the Muslim Brothers.

The draft charter issued by the liberal party came against the background of the growing violence of the terrorist group in Parliament and the Dignity Brotherhood Coalition's adoption of the logic of atonement and incitement against opponents.
