Tunisian opposition takes to streets to protest "coup d'état" on its second anniversary

Tunis, Jul 25 (EFE) - (Camera: Natalia Román) Nearly 200 people demonstrated on Tuesday in the Tunisian capital to protest against what they consider a "coup d'état" by President Kais Said, who two years ago assumed full powers to "preserve social peace", and demanded the release of some 30 political prisoners.

At the call of the National Salvation Front, an opposition alliance that brings together political parties of different ideologies and independent figures, the activists crowded in front of the central municipal theatre, defying the high temperatures, which today exceeded 40 degrees Celsius, to denounce Said's "authoritarian drift".
