The Tunisian constitutional assembly will begin discussing articles in the new constitution next Friday, a member of the assembly bureau said.


After a meeting yesterday [Friday,] a member of the constitutional bureau Sameera Mer’e said that a discussion “article by article” would start next Friday.

Mer’e also said that articles which members of the assembly reconciliation committee came to a compromise on by are expected to be published today [Saturday.]

She added that on Saturday the reconciliation committee would receive suggested modifications by some members of the constitutional assembly, to be added to articles of the draft constitution published last June.

Constitution rapporteur Al-Habib Khader previously said that the reconciliation committee had discussed various aspects of the constitution, including its approval before the 14th of January, which coincides with the third anniversary of the Tunisian revolution.
