(MENAFN) The head of Ennahda Movement in Tunisia, Rashid Ghannouchi, has said that the country needs consensus today more than ever before.
"Such consensus," he pointed out after meeting with President Beji Caid Essebsi, "had saved Tunisia and turned it into an exception [among Arab Spring countries]."
Ghannouchi emphasized the need to support national unity and dialogue at the political and social levels as a way to reach compromises necessary for the country's welfare.
The meeting between Essebsi and Ghannouchi was held ahead of a public session of parliament on Saturday for a vote of confidence on the newly appointed Interior Minister, Hisham Al-Furati.
"The Head of Government [Youssef Chahed] should resign or ask parliament for renewed confidence in his government if the country's difficult crisis is not resolved," President Essebsi toldNessma TV.
