Some 50 parties, 22 organisations and several national figures and Constituent Assembly members are also attending this congress intended to provide the occasion to reach consensus for the next political stages in Tunisia, TAP reports.
The Ennahdha movement and the Congress for the Republic (CPR) Parties, two of the ruling coalition parties, have decided to boycott the conference held under the following theme "the National Dialogue Congress: A support to National Unity." The UGTT had called the congress hoping that all parties would attend to discuss Tunisia's future political development.
The third member of the ruling coalition, the Ettakatol Party, decided however, to "actively participate in this event, in view of the strong and historical relations the party keeps with the Labour Union", according to its spokesman.
President Marzouki, who was not expected to come after the statement of the Presidency spokesman on Monday evening, thought better of it and decided to attend.
