.- The Prime Minister of the Transitional Government of Tunisia, Mohamed Ghanuchi, announced his resignation at a press conference at the Palace of Carthage. "I have decided to resign from my position as prime minister, a decision with a clear conscience and necessary Tunisia's sake, "said Ghanuchi, whose tenure at the head of the executive has been highly contested in the country in recent weeks.
The Prime Minister said that "it is not an escape" from his responsibility as it is in "open the way to the next prime minister of Tunisia for the sake of your future and your revolution." He explained that he had pondered his decision for a week and said he was not willing to adopt attitudes that "may cause loss of human life." This referred implicitly to the three indigenous people killed yesterday in clashes between police and protesters demanding the government Ghanuchi output.
The outgoing prime minister accused "shadow groups", without naming them, of trying to "weaken the government and derail the revolution." These groups, he said, are "a minority, as most remain silent or is expressed only through Facebook," referring to the Internet network. Also asked about the reasons leading to these groups to act as if "the downfall of the government was the main objective of the revolution." Ghanuchi said he agreed to continue in office after the flight from the country's deposed president, Zine el Abidine Ben Ali, "to preserve the lives of Tunisians and avoid a bloodbath" and considered that Tunisia needs additional time to achieve the goal of democracy.
He also noted that the interim president, Fuad Mebaza, next week will announce the agenda and timetable for the elections scheduled as mid-July peak. Mohamed Ghanuchi continued to lead the Tunisian Government to flee the country after last January 14, Ben Ali, who had been nearly ten years in office.
