Tunisian authorities on Wednesday prevented members of Libya’s parliament and the High Council of State from holding a meeting on its soil, where the formation of a new government in Libya and electoral laws were due to be discussed.
Members of the High Council of State confirmed in identical statements that the management of the hotel that was to host the meeting informed the Libyan delegation of its cancellation, and that the authorities attributed their decision to their lack of knowledge of the details of the meeting and the failure of the organizer to obtain a license to hold Libyan meetings on Tunisian territory. There was no immediate comment from officials in Tunisia.
Over the past day, more than 100 members of parliament and the High Council of State arrived in Tunisia to participate in a dialogue aimed at discussing the formation of a new government in Libya that would end the institutional and geographical divide between East and West and lead the country towards elections.
The events come amid rising political tensions in Libya, where Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity Abdelhamid Dabaiba faces opposition from some sides over handing over power and leaving office before holding elections.
The Libyan situation has been witnessing a stalled political solution since the collapse of the electoral process scheduled for December 2021, as a result of disputes over electoral laws and power struggles, and despite UN and international efforts, the Libyan parties still do not agree on a roadmap that puts the country on the path of stability and contributes to holding elections that end the transitional period.
