Julian Weinberg attends the opening of the 10th Party Congress of Ennahda, Tunis 19th - 21st May
Julian Weinberg attended the 10th party Congress of the Ennahda party in Tunis between the 19th - 21st of May. The Conference represented a significant milestone in the party's history, with the party formally announcing a new ideological and political framework.The participation of President Beji Caid Essebsi at the Congress was symbolic of the enormous progress and consensus Tunisia has achieved at the national level. In his speech President Essebsi publicly praised the role that Ennahda played in supporting the democratic process and the role of Rached Ghannouchi in the development of the party. We recall the meeting of the two leaders at a Forward Thinking workshop in January 2014, exploring the potential compatibility between religious and secular worldviews - the first time the two men met with colleagues from their parties in Tunisia .More details on the Ennahda Party Congress can be found here: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/966407b8-2033-11e6-aa98-db1e01fabc0c.html#axzz49QT5zAbP
