RCD Federation of Monastir Congress: vote trafficking and Violence

The congress of the Monastir Federation of the ruling party took place on December 11th, in the course of the renewals of the basic and intermediate structures of the RCD which will continue until the end of the year.
Chaired by the Government General Secretary, the congress was marked by the tense atmosphere of the last municipal elections, which gave rise to infighting.
 Well-informed sources said that voices were sold and bought with the knowledge of the government official, who has even encouraged these practices, labelling them activities worthy of dedicated activists. According to the same sources, the price of the ballot reached 100 dinars.
It is worth mentioning that during the votes counting, violent verbal exchanges took place between the head of the ‘9April’ section in Kheniss and the head of the ‘18 January’ section.
They led to a violent altercation requiring the police intervention.
