The local broadcaster reported that the politician had been detained after audio recordings of his conversations appeared in the media, in which he discussed the future of the country and possible political alliances with influential businesspeople. Ounissi has called the recordings fabricated. In May, Tunisia's court sentenced Rached Ghannouchi, the co-founder of the Ennahda party and ex-speaker of the Assembly of the Representatives of the People of Tunisia, the country's parliament, to one year in prison on charges of incitement to terrorism against security forces.In April, Tunisian Interior Minister Kamal El-Feki issued an order banning meetings at the party's headquarters. Tunisian President Kais Saied also said in April that he was waging war on those who wanted to attack the state. Against the background of mass protests against the parliament and the Islamist party Ennahda, caused by the deterioration of living conditions, Saied dismissed the government in June 2021. In March 2022, the head of state dismissed the parliament, saying he was doing it to protect the government and its institutions. Early parliamentary elections were held in Tunisia between December 2022 and January 2023. Voter turnout was as little as 11%, and the opposition boycotted the elections.
