In Tunisia, Nadia Akacha, former adviser and chief of staff to President Kaïs Saïed who resigned last January, is talking about her through leaked recordings of supposed conversations she allegedly had. The interested party denies and speaks of audio montages.
With our correspondent in Tunis, Lilia Blaise
It is a controversy that has been going on since April 26 on social networks, but which seems to be gaining momentum since justice has opened an investigation. Seven audio recordings leaked at intervals, revealing conversations attributed to former presidential adviser Nadia Akacha.
The registered person questions the state of health of the president, denigrates some of his colleagues and also evokes the nonchalant diplomatic relations that would maintain Kais Saied with his American partner. Quite disturbing revelations showing an isolated president around whom power conflicts revolve. So far, Nadia Akacha denies being the person we hear in these recordings, but the case has become serious since the prosecution opened an investigation on May 4 for crimes undermining the sovereignty of the State.
The image of the one who was known to be the lady of iron and loyal to Kaïs Saïed for two years comes out tarnished. She, who had resigned because of differences with the presidency, in her words, had come out of her reserve in recent months to comment on Facebook on the political and economic path that the country is taking. As for Kaïs Saïed, he has not spoken on the subject for the moment.
