Tunisian President Supporters Protest UGTT Amid Rising Tensions
In Tunisia, there's a bit of a squabble going on.
The President, Kais Saied, has some supporters who are not happy with a big workers' group called UGTT.
They gathered to protest against UGTT after a transport strike caused problems.
The protesters want the President to do something about the union.
The union, on the other hand, says it's being attacked by some bad guys and accuses the government of being behind it.
The union has been critical of the President's decisions, and this is making the situation tense.
Supporters of Tunisian President Kais Saied rallied against the UGTT union.
The rally followed a transport strike led by the UGTT that paralyzed the country.
Protesters urged Saied to suspend the union, chanting anti-union slogans.
UGTT accused 'criminal gangs' and authorities of being behind the rally.
The UGTT, critical of Saied's actions, faces potential targeting.
