In the wake of the overthrow of the Morsi government in Egypt, two major opposition parties, Nidaa Tounes and the Popular Front, have called for the dissolution of the Tunisian government; the Popular Front is also demanding the replacement of the National Constituent Assembly, alleging that the NCA “lost its legitimacy after being dominated by the Ennahdha party and its allies.” A spokesman for the ruling Islamist party Ennahda claimed that his party was more democratic and open to cooperation than Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood. France offered Tunisia $640 million to help with its transition to democracy, and said the country was “head[ed] in the right direction.”
