(MENAFN) On Sunday, Tunisia's Minister of Relations with Constitutional Bodies, Civil Society and Human Rights Organisations announced that he has resigned from office.
Mehdi Ben Gharbia's surprise move was accepted by the Head of the Government, Youssef Chahed.
In a resignation statement broadcast by Tunis Afrique Presse, Ben Gharbia criticized the opposition in the country.
"Instead of holding a discussion about the reforms to be taken to get Tunisia out of its current situation," he noted, "opposition voices call for a change in the government, as if the country"s problems and their solutions are linked to changing Youssef Chahed."
"The government has launched a number of reforms that include penal justice, the pension system, public institutions, the public finance deficit and debt, and achieved economic growth." These are the reforms that he believes in and for which he worked in the government. "There are no alternatives to the reform option."
