Sharjah24 – Reuters: Tunisian President Kais Saied told French President Emmanuel Macron that a national dialogue would take place soon, Macron's office said on Saturday after they spoke by phone.
Saied's mention of a dialogue would be his first indication since seizing executive power in July that he is ready to consult more widely on finding a way out of the crisis.
He has suspended the elected parliament, brushed aside much of the 2014 constitution, given himself powers to legislate by decree, appointed a new prime minister and said he will form a committee to amend the constitution.
"Saied indicated that the government would be formed in the coming days and that a national dialogue would be launched in its wake," Macron's Elysee department said.
