Ennahda and the Foreign Contracts Scandal

Ennahda and the Foreign Contracts Scandal

The Ennahda scandal was recently exposed; they had contracted American lobbying firms in an effort to save what remains of their rubble and salvage the attempts to breathe life into the party by applying internal and external pressure…Per the US Department of Justice, which mandates that companies announce the contracts they have agreed to, the Ennahda party signed a contract with the American firm to pressure President Kais Saied.

Ennahda tried, by contracting the lobbying firm, to reach influential US players and get the media to lament and decry “Ennahda’s victimhood.” This is the farcical and repetitive scene that plays out at every brotherhood failure and fall.

The firm involved in the Ennahda scandal wrote on one of its pages: “The beneficiary of the services (Ennahda) is based in Tunisia.” It was signed only days after President Saied issued his decisions and Ennahda party leader Rached Ghannouchi realized that he has no popular supporters who can be relied on to take to the squares, in the aftermath of the failure of the first attempt to mobilize around parliament to storm it and allow to hold sessions.

The lobbying scandal, despite Ennahda’s attempts at denial, leaves us with legitimate questions about how it is
