Following the dismissal and appointment movement approved by President Guis Saeed of Tunisia, there was a wave of disapproval and controversy in a number of political structures that accused the President of empowering those close to him to important positions.

It should be noted that on Friday, President Qays Saeed issued presidential orders mandating four new governors to each of the two cities, Ben Arus, Safavid and Qatif.

These appointments were accompanied by a series of dismissal of senior State officials, such as the governors of Sidi Bouzid and Kabli, the Director-General of the State-owned National Petroleum Distribution Company, diplomatic envoys and heads of national organizations.

Parties opposed to the exemption and appointment campaign accuse the President of selecting his loyalists and backers of the 25 July Movement in important positions of counter-reliance on the principle of competence, alerting to the danger of the President's singling out, especially since the appointment of governors is covered by the Presidency of the Government and not by the Presidency of the Republic.

Three parties, the Democratic and Republican Movement and the Conglomerate for Action and Freedoms, issued a joint statement criticizing "the President's autonomy, which led to appointments based solely on loyalty and involvement in his divine project, without regard to competence. It threatens the functioning and efficiency of the State, perpetuates the mentality of opportunism and flattery, and deepens the gap between the State and its citizens, "according to the statement.

The Free Constitutional Party also denounced what it described as "a return to the box of appointments of allegiance, favour and control of the branches of administration through satisfaction and rewards for former electoral or personal services from which the holder of decision-making power benefited," referring to recent presidential appointments.

In turn, the Movement for Hope and Action published a statement criticizing "continuing appointments by allegiance rather than efficiency." She recalled that the parties of Renaissance and Free Constitution had previously pursued the same policy, adding that "the President of the Republic is an extension of the same system."
