The Interior Minister offered to resign, and Tunisia’s largest labor union called for the dissolution of the government. The ruling Islamist Ennahda party said it was willing to form a unity government but not to dissolve the constituent assembly. The government in emergency session yesterday urged the return of over 60 members of the constituent assembly who had withdrawn in protest. The National Guard warned of security threats “that may involve advanced, systematic terrorist attacks, such as bombings targeting public spaces, public means of transportation and some state structures.”
